Movin' For Meals

Hit the streets so others can eat

Pledge to walk, run, jog, or even skip, to help raise vital funds to support people sleeping rough, or experiencing chronic homelessness and poverty.

Challenge Yourself

Hit the streets so others can eat by taking part in the St Mary's House of Welcome MOVIN' FOR MEALS challenge!

Walk, run, cycle - you choose...Just get movin'!

Whether you enter alone, or as a team with friends and colleagues, you will be raising much needed funds to provide meals and other essential services to people sleeping rough and experiencing chronic homelessness.

The MOVIN' FOR MEALS challenge can be completed doing your own thing, at your own pace, anywhere in Australia – even in the comfort of your own home, backyard or local park. All you need to do is choose how far you want to go to make a difference, sign up online and get your friends and family to support you through sponsorship.

Not only will be you be getting fit, but you'll be doing your bit to help our most vulnerable community members!

The Impact You Will Have

Funds raised will go directly towards providing essential services for people experiencing chronic homelessness.

• $55 will help provide emergency material aid items (clothing, blankets, underwear, socks, etc).

• $125 will help provide essential medications and health supplies to support wellbeing of ten rough sleepers.

• $250 will help fund our showers program for one day, allowing dozens of people sleeping rough to get clean.
