Safe Sleep Mackay have fundraised to bring three buses to our region which are fitted out with pods and beds to give people a safe night’s sleep. With one bus here and secured, and two more on their way, we are raising funds to go towards the establishment and operation of the three Mackay based buses. Your donation will help to give people who are experiencing homelessness safe sleeps, and make a huge difference in their daily lives.
All money donated via the fund below is allocated to Safe Sleep Mackay for the fit out and operation of the Safe Sleep Buses.
