Fundraise For Us
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.
St Mary’s House of Welcome only receives around 60 percent of its funding from federal, state and local government. Instead, we rely on the generosity of individuals, schools, corporate and community groups, along with public and philanthropic grants and donations to fund around 40 percent of our other vital programs such as the meal service, amenities and social support activities.
There are a number of ways you can raise funds, and our fundraising team are here to help you along the way - contact us on 03 9417 7985 or fundraising@smhow.org.au to learn more about how you can get involved.
