What is Aid For the Homeless Program?
HoMie is a street wear label and social enterprise that loves to help the homelessness community of Melbourne, Australia. Since COVID-19 began, the rise of homelessness has increased tremendously. As of 2020 there are at least 116,000+ people homeless (Launchhousing.org.au., n.d). At HoMie our mission is to help those in need by accepting donations like food, money, clothes or anything else that can be resourceful for those in need. HoMie has also partnered with Launch Housing Organization to have a bigger impact in decreasing the number of people without a home.
How does the program work?
At HoMie we understand the severity of being homeless especially during a pandemic, COVID-19. Social distancing and self isolating when being homeless can be very difficult, imagine not being able to shower, eat, stay hydrated, or wear protective gear?
As a team we want to make sure we do our part in helping those in need. Through the program our consumers are welcomed to stop by any of our stores to drop off any donations and as a thank you for your generosity, a 10% discount coupon will be given to you to use for your next purchase. As previously mentioned we have also partnered up with Launch Housing Organization where together we host events and encourage our consumers and many others to volunteer.
什麼是無家可歸者援助計劃？
HoMie是一家街頭服裝品牌和社會企業，它熱愛幫助澳大利亞墨爾本的無家可歸者社區。自從COVID-19開始以來，無家可歸者的人數急劇增加。截至2020年，至少有116,000多人無家可歸（Launchhousing.org.au。，n.d）。在HoMie，我們的使命是接受有需要的人的捐贈，例如食物，金錢，衣服或其他任何有幫助的人，以幫助有需要的人。 HoMie還與發射房屋組織（Launch Housing Organisation）合作，在減少無家可歸人數方面產生了更大的影響。
