With over 6,000 South Australians experiencing homelessness over the Easter period, we looked at ways we could provide instant help or comfort to those in need.

In the lead up to Easter, our 3 offices set up collection stations and community marketing which asked for donations of food, toiletries, pet products and winter necessities which were then distributed to those in need thanks to the teams at Sonder Marion and Baptist Care.

We received an outstanding amount of donations thanks to the generosity of our staff, friends, family, local businesses and local community. Thanks to these generous donations we were able to collect a large number of winter essentials including beanies, gloves, scarves, socks, and coats, plus food and everyday necessities including toothbrushes/ toothpaste, soap, deodorant, shampoo, and even some treats and leads for furry friends.

We would like to Thank the team at the Toward Home Alliance* for partnering with us on this initiative, and for all that you do daily to help those in need. Harcourts Packham are proud to continue our work in the homelessness sector and look forward to future fundraisers and initiatives.
