When we kicked off Double the Difference Day last week, we never could have expected this incredible result. Together, with matching partners doubling every dollar given, our community smashed our million-dollar goal and raised a mind-blowing $1,229,080 🤯
We say it often, because it's true: these aren’t just abstract numbers or meaningless figures. Because of your overwhelming generosity, 42,676 people experiencing homelessness or hardship across Australia will be supported with clean clothes and warm showers. More importantly, our shifts create the simple magic of someone sitting down, having a cuppa and genuinely connecting with a community that cares.
On May 28, our team took to the phones to personally thank as many of our wonderful donors as possible. During one of those calls, we spoke with a supporter who actually used our service in the past. Today, he’s in a position to give back, help fund our mission, and connect others to Orange Sky. That's just one story from the thousands who gave generously.
It's as our dedicated Cairns volunteer and donor duo Cathie and John, say - "You treat people how you want to be treated... with Orange Sky, one of the big things is that we are in it together."
Thank you to the volunteers, service providers, corporate partners, remote community teams and supporters who continue to power our mission forward, not just on Double the Difference Day, but year round too. You have shown, once again, that we really are ALL in this together 🧡
