Lent & Ramadan are seasons of reflection, compassion and generosity.

It is a month when giving — whether through Lenten charity or Sadaqah — becomes a powerful way to care for others and strengthen our community.

In Adelaide, people facing homelessness often go without meals, clean clothes, showers and medical care.

Your gift this season ensures that anyone who walks through the doors of Hutt St Centre can access:

  • Nutritious meals
  • Hot showers and laundry facilities
  • Access to a nurse and GP
  • Visiting allied health and professional services
  • Case management and housing support

Your gift this season creates comfort, stability and hope for people in our community doing it tough.

How Jordan rebuilt her life

Jordan’s* life changed forever when her mum passed away. At just twenty, she found herself on the streets, struggling with substance use and unable to cope with the weight of her loss.

Without a safe place to stay and no one to turn to, Jordan began sleeping rough, finding shelter wherever she could.

“In winter there was one time I slept in a park – but only for one night, I couldn’t handle the icy cold. I was staying in different people’s houses, and sleeping rough in abandoned toilets and houses to keep me out of the weather.”

When Jordan walked through the doors of Hutt St Centre, she didn’t know what to expect. With Hutt St Centre’s help, Jordan found a safe home where she could heal. Today, she’s reconnecting with her daughters and thriving in her first-ever job.

Your generosity can help more people like Jordan find safety, stability and hope.
