🏠 3–9 August – Homelessness Week 💙 HOMELESSNESS WEEK 2026 💙 Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Homelessness can affect people from all walks of life and often results from circumstances beyond their control, including family violence, financial hardship, illness, relationship breakdown or a shortage of affordable housing. During Homelessness Week, we encourage our community to show kindness, compassion and understanding. Sometimes a smile, a conversation or connecting someone with support can make all the difference. Together, we can help build a stronger, more caring community where everyone feels supported. #HomelessnessWeek #CommunityMatters #KindnessCounts #MareebaCommunityCentre
