some faith in humanity is restored… there’s a fair few homeless folks around that part of KP which is wild when you consider the property values around that area.

Yellow shirts? Possibly Rotarians. It’s ok to ask them if you want to join in or support them 🙂
Thanks for posting.

If anyone is interested in volunteering for something like this, contact Coffee Brigade. Vans go out every day and provide sandwiches and hot/cold drinks. Shifts start at 6am and end at 9am. I have volunteered with them for 9 months and seriously some of the most decent people I’ve met. Has restored my faith in humanity tbh.

Don’t publicise it, the council will come along and shut them down.
LNP hates helping the homeless

I’m in Ipswich and we have a group of locals doing the same thing twice a month. We all just found each other over facebook after a member made a post asking for help/support, my son and I got involved and now its a huge part of our lives. I’m disabled too, so it’s a good reason for me to get out of the house. You don’t need charities if you have each other. We meet at the same park every second week and let the word spread organically, just kept showing up. When we started about three years ago we had only 5 or 6 people but now we regularly feed about 60 with it even pushing higher during stressful periods. We don’t ask ID, we don’t care if you have a healthcare card, we don’t ask any information or preach anything except to help others if you see they need a hand.

Which park is this?
Looks like Orange Sky.
