Rotary Melbourne's Make A House a Home project (MAHAH) continues to deliver 10 sets (20 tea-chest boxes) of new homewares to Launch Housing’s front line offices in Dandenong and Southbank.
Launch’s case workers were delighted to have a refreshed supply of boxes. They allocate them on a highest need basis to long term homeless clients when they can finally place them in a unit. After extended homelessness, these people typically own no homewares to set up afresh once they are housed. The boxes are also allocated to some victims of domestic violence who have left a dangerous situation with no household possessions.
Funded by the Rotary Melbourne budget, our “MAHAH” program is now in its sixth year and in that time has assisted more than 260 homeless people.
Chris Wang prepared and labelled all the boxes at his Sunshine warehouse and volunteers Richard Parker, Marg Lesser, Jan Moffatt, Jim Orchard, Trevor Nink, Deb Yin Foo, Mary Barry and Sue Smith continue to volunteer to do the purchasing and packing.
DIK's volunteer driver Andy Steinicke does a marvellous job driving the congested round trip to St Kilda & Southbank with a volunteer.
Launch Housing highly value what we do and the demand is real and ongoing.
