Donate

Help us, help more people.

Last year over 7300 people came through our doors for support. We rely on donations to help us provide dignity and support to people when they need it most.

When people connect with Haven Home Safe, it’s because they have found themselves in circumstances, they never expected to be in.

 

Please note: Haven Home Safe will never cold-call you and ask for your bank card details to make a donation. We will also never door knock or visit a property without prior notice. Learn more about impersonation scams here.

Why donate?

In a world where homelessness and housing crisis exists, we connect people with housing options and support so they can find and keep a place to call home. In addition to supporting people in crisis we are dedicated to being a part of the solution and a future Victoria without homelessness and housing stress by building more homes to increase housing supply.

How donations help:
• $20 – prepaid phone card for a month
• $40 – Myki card and travel or fuel for a week
• $100 – Food and essentials
• $280 – Two nights’ emergency accommodation
• $500 – Two weeks’ rent in advance to secure permanent housing options

What to donate

Donations of money allow us to respond quickly to the individual needs of our clients.

If you wish to donate goods (hampers, blankets, hygiene packs etc.) or vouchers please contact your local Haven Home Safe office to see how these items can be best utilised and if it is something we can take or if they are better directed to another charity.

We do not have any storage or warehouse space to hold onto bulky items.

We also accept bequests and donations of land and homes, to discuss donations of this size please email donations@hhs.org.a

The Australian Taxation Office has authorised Loddon Mallee Housing Services as a Deductible Gift Recipient, and therefore gifts of $2 more are tax deductible for the donor (some conditions apply).

For many Haven Home Safe clients and residents the festive season can bring financial and emotional stress or amplify feelings of loneliness. Thanks to our generous supporters, partners and donors we have been able to spread some joy this year. Thank you to everyone who has helped make the festive season a little brighter for all our clients, residents and communities. Many of these organisations show up repeatedly each year and their support and generosity are greatly appreciated.
Haven Home Safe celebrated ten years of Sidney Myer Haven, a transformative housing and support programme changing lives in Bendigo. Community leaders, supporters and staff reflected on its impact, including former resident Michelle who shared her powerful story of rebuilding her life. Funds raised will help ensure the programme continues its vital work.
We continue to invest in supporting and empowering residents through our tailored placemaking framework as we can see the impact of residents connecting with each other and their wider communities.
