Hawkesbury's Helping Hands

For over six years, every day of the week, Hawkesbury's Helping Hands Inc has supported those experiencing homelessness in the Hawkesbury and surrounds. We provide love, kindness, food, toiletries, clothing, shoes, blankets, sleeping bags, tents, swags, pet supplies etc, also advice on services available and if possible, support with accommodation. Free meals are served three days a week to our friends in a local park. To date we have distributed over 250, 000 plates of food, with over 150+ packed meals to go weekly. We also distribute 21 -35 emergency family food hampers weekly, throughout the vast Hawkesbury.
For the past four years we have hosted a "Christmas Day Get Together", It is a free lunch on Christmas Day with no strings, no questions and no judgement, for everyone to enjoy !!
Three years ago we started collecting and distributing formal wear, to ensure that no child in the Hawkesbury or surrounds cannot attend their farewell or formal, because they cannot afford to purchase an outfit.


We also supply lunches to local schools, and this year had a back to school drive where we collected and distributed over 120 backpacks to children in need un our community.

Recently we have started a breakfast club three days a week in a local High School.


We work alongside and support many other charities and organisations, and work closely with numerous agencies, who often refer their clients to us.
