Give in celebration
Celebrate your special occasion by spreading kindness and making a lasting impact for people experiencing homelessness
Make your celebration meaningful
Turn your birthday, wedding, anniversary, or other milestone into an opportunity to bring hope and comfort to people doing it tough in South Australia.
Instead of receiving gifts, invite your friends and family to donate to Hutt St Centre. Your celebration will not only be memorable but will also help provide meals, healthcare, and essential support to people experiencing homelessness.
Be proud knowing that your special day is making a life changing difference for someone in need.
By giving in celebration, you’re ensuring that people experiencing homelessness have access to:
- Nutritious, freshly prepared meals to nourish bellies and hearts
- Hot showers and laundry services to restore dignity and comfort
- Access to healthcare, counselling, and wellbeing support to help heal bodies and minds
- Social connection through book clubs, gardening, and creative workshops to build friendships
- Guidance from social workers to help find a safe and secure place to call home

Tina decided that instead of receiving presents for her 70th birthday, she would host a fundraiser to support Hutt St Centre.
"I have enough candles, earrings, and more that I don't need. Instead of receiving gifts I asked my guests to donate to Hutt St Centre. My guests enjoyed donating instead of buying a gift. It made the day more meaningful knowing that we were supporting an important cause." – Tina, 70th Birthday
