Demand for our services grew 10.2% in the last year alone. And thanks to the worsening cost of living crisis, demand is only growing… Your gift today can help Orange Sky reach more of the 122,000 Australians facing homelessness. With your support, we can continue to offer free laundry, warm showers, and a genuine connection that is there week on week… rain, hail or shine. Help someone like Angela care for her family Angela is a single mother caring full-time for her daughter, Lacey, and her elderly mother. She has no washing machine in her home, because she can’t afford one. Angela also doesn’t have a car to take her laundry to the laundromat. And even if she could get there – it’s so expensive these days. “At $9 a load at the laundromat, I can’t afford it. Even getting the washing there and back is a struggle. Orange Sky’s services are a godsend.” But it’s more than just a warm shower, clean clothes and a place to have a chat. Your gift really can provide an essential service that changes lives. “The volunteers are so friendly, and my daughter and I have built real relationships with them.” Donate now Help someone like Wayne keep going with confidence Wayne’s life changed drastically after losing his home. He ended up living in a van. He relies on Orange Sky for a simple, yet crucial, service: clean clothes and warm showers. “It’s sad to be in your own hometown and not have anything. And then to see the services pop up, that make you feel comfortable in your own skin, it is awesome.” Wayne says Orange Sky has helped him “ feel like himself again.” Your gift today can help people like Wayne going through tough times to access these vital services.

We will generate a one-time individual reference number for you to use with your deposit so that we can easily identify your donation and forward a receipt. Can I donate physical goods such as clothes, blankets, laundry detergent or shampoo? Thank you so much for thinking of us for your kind donation! Unfortunately, due to our current capacity and resources, we are not able to accept, handle, or pass on donations of physical goods to our friends. We recommend getting in touch with another service provider in your area who may be better placed to store, sort and distribute items to people in need. You can also try searching Ask Izzy for local service providers. Can I direct my donation to a particular area or service? All donations help us provide clean clothes, warm showers, and genuine conversation to those doing it tough. While most of our support is managed centrally to maximise efficiency, we can provide information on specific expenses related to the service area you’re interested in to show the impact of your donation. Please contact us at hello@orangesky.org to discuss this further. Is my donation tax-deductible? Orange Sky has the status of a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), and any gift of money or property to Orange Sky over the value of $2 is tax-deductible in Australia. Want to chat?
