They say 'good shoes take you good places'. We like to say 'good places take you good shoes' 👞👟🥾🥿👢

For many of the homeless, walking is their primary mode of transport and if they have good shoes they unfortunately become a target to have them stolen.

We're always after donations of good shoes, so if you have any you no longer wear, then please consider donating them to Avalon and we will make sure they go to someone that needs them.

With winter now here, we need more donations more than ever of warm clothing and bedding. So if you have any jackets, hoodies, trackies and sleeping bags, please drop them off at Avalon Centre in East Malvern. 🙏

Meet our Vice President, Patrick Flynn! We asked him why he chose to volunteer at Avalon and he says that we were the best around for meeting UNMET needs. Like eveyone else, people at Avalon is one of the things he enjoys while volunteering for us. Thank you Patrick!

As winter soon approaches, most of us can already feel the cold which in reality is felt even harsher for those less fortunate out on the street. Your donations of warm clothing and bedding is what will make a real difference this winter. #meetingunmetneeds

Phil joined Avalon because he wanted to help people who are less fortunate. Inspired by Debbie's (founder of Avalon) action and commitment to helping out the homeless, Phil decides to contribute his time as a Moving Wardrobe driver.

What he loves about his role is having the opportunity to explore different places, people and witnessing the donation process. He expresses that "It's eye opening to know that there are people who are less fortunate than us who ends up on the streets due to their circumstances. It's a reminder that we are very lucky. Don't ever judge because it could happen to any of us one day."
