Gympie RSL

Gympie RSL is thrilled to announce that, over the past two months, it has successfully raised $8,500 in support of the Gympie Regional Homelessness Assistance Association (GRHAA). This incredible achievement has been made possible through the club’s ongoing raffle initiatives, which have become a staple in supporting local causes.

How the Funds Were Raised

Over the past two months, Gympie RSL has dedicated 100% of the proceeds from its weekly Friday and Saturday night raffles, as well as special raffles like those held on Australia Day and Valentine’s Day, to support the GRHAA. The club’s commitment to helping the community is evident in how each raffle contributes directly to the efforts aimed at combating homelessness in the Gympie region.

This fundraising initiative has shown tremendous support from the local community, with residents and visitors coming together to make a real difference. The $8,500 raised will go directly toward supporting the GRHAA’s ongoing programs and services, which provide vital resources and assistance to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness.

A Special Partnership with Marlene Owen

A key figure in the Gympie Regional Homelessness Assistance Association is Marlene Owen, who has been actively involved in addressing homelessness in the region. Marlene’s dedication to supporting those in need has been invaluable, and she recently met with several of Gympie RSL’s team members to discuss the impact of the ongoing fundraising efforts.

The association, under Marlene’s leadership, continues to play an essential role in providing shelter, resources, and advocacy for vulnerable individuals and families in Gympie. With the $8,500 raised, the association will be able to continue its important work and extend its reach to those who need help the most.

The Importance of Supporting Homelessness Programs

Homelessness is a complex issue that affects many families and individuals across the Gympie region. With rising costs of living and a range of other contributing factors, many people are finding themselves at risk of losing their homes or in need of emergency housing.

The Gympie Regional Homelessness Assistance Association works tirelessly to ensure that those who are most vulnerable receive the support they need. From providing emergency accommodation to offering ongoing assistance and resources, the association’s programs make a significant difference in the lives of many local residents.
