Causes

Causes we need funded

A cause is one specific thing we are short of, priced at what it actually costs. We’d rather show you that than ask you to trust a number. Every cause below shows the total raised so far — when one is fully funded it comes off the list and we buy the thing.

Takeaway containers for 500 meals

We run short on packaging almost every week. A ready supply of containers means every meal that needs to travel can travel — nobody waits, and nobody misses out because we ran out of boxes.

Aprons for 20 volunteers

Branded aprons for the team serving up the buffet. They keep volunteers clean, make it obvious who to ask for help, and give the people we serve a team to recognise week to week.

Printed vinyl signage

Two printed vinyl signs so anyone walking past Tom Uren Square on a Sunday knows exactly what we are, that the meal is free, and that they are welcome at it.

How this works

How our causes work

Give to a cause and the money is held for that cause. The bar only moves when the money is in our account — a pledge that hasn’t landed yet doesn’t count towards it, because a progress bar that overstates what we hold isn’t worth having.

If a cause is fully funded before you get here, it disappears from the list. If you’d rather we decide, choose “wherever it is needed most” on the donation form and it goes to whatever is most urgent that week.

Donations of $2 and over are tax deductible, and your receipt is emailed the moment your gift is recorded.
