In Orange, NSW the winters are extremely cold, with an average overnight temperature of 1.2°C. Some people are forced to sleep in stormwater drains or rubbish compacters just to keep warm. Our new high quality aged care facility - Benjamin Short Grove - will provide shelter and care to 60 elderly men and women in the Orange area who are homeless or financially and socially disadvantaged.
Mission Australia needs to urgently raise $218,600 in order to furnish and equip 60 resident rooms. Donate now to provide elderly people experiencing homelessness with a home for the rest of their days.
