How Your Team Can Help

Host a BBQ Lunch at SMHOW
Hosting a Corporate BBQ for St Mary’s House of Welcome’s service users is not only a great team-building exercise for your work group, but it’s a powerful, socially responsible immersion experience guaranteed to get you thinking about the way you view homelessness and the people it effects. Our BBQs are held every Friday and spots fill up quickly - learn more about registering your interest below.

Gifts in Kind
Many of our services are made possible by in-kind donations or the provision of Pro Bono services by our corporate partners. Whether you’re a food wholesaler, clothing manufacturer, sell bedding supplies (e.g. sleeping bags), or provide legal services, we would love to hear from you if you are interested in supporting our community - contact us to learn more about how you can help.

Workplace Fundraisers and Sponsorship
By choosing to fundraise for St Mary’s House of Welcome, you are making a real difference to the lives of some of the most marginalised and socially isolated people in our community.

Volunteer
Each year, we have a number of corporate groups volunteering with St Mary’s House of Welcome via their Corporate Responsibility Programs. Hosting Corporate BBQs or excursions for our service users are a great way to get involved, however, corporates can also give back by offering pro-bono work in their area of expertise. Learn more about the different ways you can volunteer with us.
