Supporter Magazine: Spring 2019

SUPPORTER SPRING 2019

Take the plunge

On any given night, 6,000 people across our state experience homelessness. They have no option but to sleep in their car, couch surf or even worse, sleep on the street. On Saturday 19 October this year, AnglicareSA will host the Adelaide City Plunge, an event in which participants abseil down the side of Adelaide’s tallest building, the Westpac building in the CBD. The funds raised from this event go towards our homelessness programs. Each of the 100 brave participants are raising $850, to enable AnglicareSA to continue to offer safe, stable accommodation and crisis services to people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. Pictured is AnglicareSA’s General Manager Housing and Homelessness Services, Michelle Gegenhuber, who
