1 night, 2 fantastic events. Give up your bed for one night or join us at Hangout Hands On to help homeless youths this winter. Register below.
On any given night in Australia….
Over 116,000 people will be homeless
Over 44,000 youths will not have a secure and safe place to sleep
460 Children under the age of 12 will be sleeping rough
250 people will be turned away from crisis centres
Where is the money going?
This year, KiP will be supporting the Lighthouse Foundation. Our aim is to raise $15,000 to support Lighthouse in keeping at risk youth off the streets.
And yes, you heard that right, KiP is the launch of Lighthouse’s 4UP Campaign. This means that every single dollar you raise will be quadrupled. $1 = $4 to Lighthouse. Our target of $15,000 will become $60,000! What are you waiting for? Sign up and start your changemaking!

The homeless find themselves out on the streets for various reasons, ranging from medical bankruptcy to drug addiction. ...Thanks Foodbank Victoria such a great day.🚨 Adorable Alert 🚨
The kind-hearted kiddos from Kids In Philanthropy heard about our bushfire relief efforts and wanted to help. Stopping by our warehouse with big smiles and colourful pens, the creative youngsters made a bunch of cards - each containing a kind message of support - to help other Victorians kids through tough times 💜
