This year Jen, Jordan, Matt Hill, and James will lead a team representing DJ’s Growers as we take on the Walk a Mile in My Boots challenge.
We are taking on the long walk of 30 MILES (50km) to take us from Willunga to Adelaide. We will add to the Hutt St Centre’s collective goal of 70,000 miles for the 7,000 people experiencing homelessness in South Australia.
The long walk will be on Friday the 28th of July, rain, hail or hopefully shine.
Our fundraising page is here; https://www.walkamile.org.au/fundraisers/DJsGrowers/walk-a-mile-challenge-23
We are taking on the challenge this year because we are in a safe, supportive environment and now work where we know we would be supported if in distress. Unfortunately, not everyone is so privileged.
Hutt St Centre is a place of connection and support where people at risk of or experiencing homelessness are empowered to rebuild their lives, rediscover their identities and reunite with those who love them.
Since last year’s challenge, demand for critical services at Hutt St Centre has more than doubled. That means there’s never been a bigger need to provide nourishing meals, laundry facilities and hot showers for people experiencing homelessness in South Australia.
All team members will be raising funds for people experiencing homelessness in SA.
Kind regards,
James Hook, Jen Pedder, Jordan Matthews and Matthew Hill
