Mallee Accommodation & Support Program (MASP) is calling for community support for the homeless ahead of Homelessness Week on August 5-11. 

MASP will hold a stall in front of Target Mildura in Mildura Central on Friday August 9 from 10:00am to 4:00pm where community members can donate a range of household items to be delivered to the community’s homeless. 

Items that can be donated include:

  • Essential household items
  • Personal hygiene products
  • Cleaning items
  • Pantry items 

Please note due to hygiene and safety issues MASP cannot accept second-hand items. 

Cash donations can also be made year-round to MASP’s programs via https://masp.org.au/get-involved/donate-and-fundraise-for-masp/ 

This year’s Homelessness Week comes after MASP established its Assertive Outreach Program in mid-January, which has engaged almost 50 visibly homeless “rough sleepers” in the community across North West Victoria and Far West New South Wales, connecting them with services and helping to find housing solutions.
