Support Us
Change someone’s life today!
St Pat’s relies on the support of our community to deliver high-quality services and programs to help people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness get back to living safe, secure and independent lives – and thrive.
You can support St Pat’s in our mission to end chronic homelessness through:
Financial Donations
Financial donations in any amount are greatly appreciated and will be directed in full towards the services St Pat’s offers to those in need.
We’d love your help whether it be monthly, annually or whenever you can. Every cent you give makes at difference to the lives of people in need in the Fremantle and greater southern metropolitan area.
Your payment
St Pat’s uses a secure, third-party payment system to ensure the safety of your financial data, which we do not see or store.
Where does the money go?
Your donations are used to support services and programs across all areas of St Pat’s, including:
- Accommodation
- Meals and food packages
- Towels, hygiene packs and shoes
- Our Health and Dental Clinic
- Social engagement and inclusion activities such as our Starlight Hotel Choir, art workshops, events, health information sessions and exercise classes.
Redevelopment Project
The redevelopment of our Queen Victoria and Beach Street sites provides a new kind of service delivery, with 28 new self-contained apartments on site for those experiencing chronic homelessness, a purpose-built Day Centre and Health Clinics, and a Services and Engagement Hub.
Funds raised to date mean we can commence our build. We are also on our way to securing funding to fit-out our new buildings including our dental, optometry and health clinics.
But we are not quite there yet, with just under $2 million remaining to be raised.
Furnishing Futures Fund
People exiting chronic homelessness or fleeing domestic violence are unlikely to own their own furniture or to have reliable networks to ask for assistance.
You can help us to support people moving into their new home by donating to the Furnishing Futures Fund.
Your donation will assist people with purchasing furniture, homewares and other housing necessities to turn their apartment into a place to call home, perhaps for the first time in a very long time.
Donating Goods
St Pat’s relies on your donated goods to provide people with basic necessities, from food to clothing and shoes, furniture and more. Donations to our Op-Shop provides a vital fundraising tool, while also keeping our community well-dressed.
The money we raise from any items we sell goes back into funding our services and programs, helping us support our community’s most vulnerable.
Our Donations Depot is Moving!
From July 1st 2024 donations of clothing, homewares and furniture to our Op Shop and Community Store will be received at:
- The Loading Dock
39 Adelaide St Fremantle
