How you can help
Your help can contribute to creating pathways from homelessness.
Your Kindness Matters
Sometimes people find themselves in impossible situations.
Right now, families across Victoria and Australia are at breaking point for reasons exactly like these. Through no fault of their own. Many families are at very real risk of homelessness. And this is why your care and compassion is needed today.
Homelessness is not just about lacking shelter; it deeply affects one’s soul, self-worth, and future.
Please join other kind people like you who are taking action to care for those most in need.
Through Anchor, you care for families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
You give them a safe place to stay as you support them to find a longer-term home, and an address to call home.
You also help provide essentials like school supplies for children, fresh produce, or even a new pair of runners.
You help with whatever the family’s most urgent needs are.
You give them the belief that they can overcome this struggle, and achieve a brighter future.
No matter what your kindness looks like, you’ll touch the hearts of people who are going through or at risk of homelessness.
Your practical care shows mums, dads and children the world hasn’t forgotten them. That they matter. That they’re loved.
Your gift is truly life-changing!
Donate
By financially donating to Anchor, you can support children, youth and families and set them on their path away from homelessness.
Your action changes lives.
We believe that every individual experiencing homelessness and disadvantage has their own pathway to independence.
With your support, we can help them find it.
If you’ve never been homeless, you have no idea what that does to your soul.
What it’s like to apply for jobs without a home address, to get your kids ready for school in the back of a car, to search for a dry spot to sleep when it rains. What it does to you, to couch surf, sleep in a car, or not find a place to call home with ‘Mum and Dad’.
Your donation to Anchor supports not just an individual regaining housing security, but it plays a crucial role in helping them regain their humanity.
Your generosity provides a safe and warm place to sleep, whenever it is needed.
Your generosity provides essential help, including daily necessities like food and petrol, or access to counselling and psychology services, to our children under foster care and kinship care.
Your generosity gives our young people a chance in life – access to employment training, opportunities in education, and one-on-one support with someone who, perhaps for the very first time, actually believes in them.
Your donation to Anchor doesn’t just change lives today. It ignites a belief that a better tomorrow is possible.
