Ward 104 councillor Mike Wood is proud to announce the establishment of a temporary homeless shelter at the Fontainebleau Community Church on Rabie Street during the coronavirus lockdown period.
At the moment, the homeless shelter can accommodate up to 35 people and there is a dire need for the community to support those in need with various essential goods.
Wood said that there is a need for toiletries, toilet paper, warm clothes, blankets, face cloths, non-perishable foods, cooking utensils, hotplates, electric kettles, and more.
“At the moment, the shelter only caters to homeless men and is being managed by One Small Act of Kindness and Doorway to Dignity,” he said.
Wood added that further drop-off points are available for those in the Malanshof and Windsor West area.
“We have also asked the SPAR in Malanshof, who is already helping to feed the homeless in their area, to put a trolley outside of their shop for shoppers to donate essential goods, especially toiletries, at their stores in Malanshof and Windsor West.”
