We have been leading The Salvation Army Rockingham for the past 12 years and we love our community. At our ‘Centre of Hope’ we offer a range of community support services which includes supporting people experiencing homelessness. We open our doors as a drop-in centre 3 days per week, providing those in need with food, free wifi, shower and clothes washing facilities. We aim for our centre to be a safe place where people can build healthy connections with others while having access to a range of support services delivered by us and other partner agencies. We would love to be able to extend our homelessness support services as we rely heavily on volunteers and in-kind donations – Anything you can do to assist is greatly appreciated. We firmly believe that when our community partners together we can see amazing things happen. Thank you.
Owen has been a tireless Homeless advocate in Rockingham for the last 10 years, working extensively with stakeholders, the Homeless community and the Department of Housing to support Homeless individuals and families into permanent and secure housing. An eternal early bird, he is pounding the streets at 3am to ensure all the homeless in Rockingham and surrounds are secure and safe. He has a solid reputation amongst the homeless but also with local Politicians, Council officials and stakeholders. .Owen was also involved in the creation of Australia's first Homeless Veteran Statue right here in Rockingham. Owen was the winner of the Citizen of the Year for the City of Rockingham (Seniors) in 2019 and was been nominated again in 2020.
After organising the first CEO Sleepout in Rockingham in 2020 raising over $15k for St Vincents, we wanted the next event to be focused on a local service provider. Salvation Army Rockingham is on the ground daily helping community members in need and I could not think of a better way to assist our community. This will be our very first, inaugural sleepout right here in our backyard, raising funds that go DIRECTLY back to our community. Did you know $400 can pay for local child’s school for a year including stationary supplies and $75 can supply nutritious meals for a entire week for someone experiencing homelessness in Rockingham! Collectively we can make a difference, get involved in you won’t regret it! Businesses and Individuals, help us give something back.
Here is an up to date list of our donations and new team members, thank you and welcome! Our BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOAL is $75,000! Let’s get fundraising! #roughit4rockingham
