shelter
Formerly known as Homeless expo
Since 2012, CASA has hosted what was previously known as the Homeless Expo - now referred to as Together for Shelter
This initiative connects people who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, with essential services to help them transition from crisis to stability.
CASA achieves this by hosting over 50 vendors in one space who can help connect you to Housing providers, Mental Health Services, Financial support, access to free food, essential giveaways for those sleeping rough, and so much more!
If this sounds like an event that could help you, please head over to our Facebook Event Page for more information on when the next big event will be hosted!
Alternatively, if you would like to be a part of making a difference and helping those in need in our community, please register your business/organisation or get in contact with us for more information on how you can help!
