‘Outreach’ provides social and material assistance to people sleeping rough in Melbourne’s CBD. Developed in 2015, it runs twice weekly all year round, involving volunteers who engage directly with vulnerable people. With Foundation funding, clothing, toiletries, and shower passes are provided, along with advice on accessing homelessness services. Outreach aims to increase social connectedness through respect, compassion, and dignity, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. https://300blankets.org.au/our-programs/
