Chances House Mackay provides vital support to people experiencing homelessness, and the team is reaching out to the community for a little extra help. Residents rely on the generosity of locals to access basic necessities, and right now the shelter is in need of a range of essential items.
Non-perishable foods are always appreciated, with tins featuring ring pulls preferred for ease of use. Donations of noodles, spaghetti, baked beans, tuna, fruit cups, and chunky soups go directly to those who need them most. For pet owners, wet dog and cat food is especially useful, complementing the shelter’s current supply of dry food.
Other items that make a real difference include sleeping bags, small tarpaulins, insect repellant, mozzie coils, small gas canisters, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and deodorant.
Clothing is not required at this time, as the shelter has ample supply.
Chances House Mackay encourages residents to help in any way they can, whether by dropping off donations, sharing this call-out on social media, or spreading the word to friends and family. Every contribution provides comfort, safety, and support to some of Mackay’s most vulnerable community members.
Donations can be dropped off directly at Chances House during opening hours. The team thanks the community for every gift, large or small, and for helping ensure that everyone in Mackay has the support they need to stay safe and cared for.
