New support initiative starts on National Homelessness Week 2019

Amrita Australia’s new support initiative for the homeless started with two projects in conjunction with National Homelessness Week 2019 Australia (4th -10th August)

Amrita Australia National Homeless Week 2019

Project one: Distribution of food and comfort parcels to those sleeping rough in Melbourne city.

On Thursday 8th August, Amrita volunteers walked the streets of Melbourne bringing comfort to many on a very, very cold night. Nearly 80 packages of socks, beanies, gloves, hygiene products and snacks were handed out.
