Warmth and Support at Toowoomba’s Homelessness Expo

While a blanket cannot solve homelessness on its own, it can provide comfort during a difficult night and let someone know they have not been forgotten.

Tell us how and to whom you distributed the goods in your community

On a cold wet day in Toowoomba, with temperatures sitting at around 6°C, Mission Australia was there to offer more than just a helping hand — it was helping provide warmth, dignity and hope to some of the community’s most vulnerable people.
Mission Australia attended Toowoomba’s Homelessness Expo, connecting with people experiencing or at risk of homelessness and providing practical support, information and a welcoming place to seek assistance.
Among the most appreciated items available on the day were warm, handmade ‘Wrap with Love’ blankets supplied through Good360. The blankets were distributed to vulnerable community members, offering much-needed comfort and warmth as persistent rain and chilly winter conditions made the day particularly difficult for anyone without secure accommodation.

Tell us how these goods helped your community, program or organisation

For people sleeping rough, living in temporary accommodation or facing housing insecurity, something as simple as a warm blanket can make a significant difference. On a day when many people were looking for shelter from the rain and cold, the blankets provided a tangible reminder that the community cares.
Mission Australia’s presence at the expo also highlighted the importance of bringing services together in one place. Homelessness can be complex, with people often needing support across housing, health, employment, financial wellbeing and other areas. Events such as the Toowoomba Homelessness Expo create an opportunity for people to connect directly with organisations that can help them take their next step.
Good360 enabled Mission Australia to extend that support in a practical and meaningful way. By making blankets available to people who needed them, the partnership turned donated goods into something immediately valuable — warmth on a cold and rainy day.
Mission Australia was proud to be part of an event that brought the Toowoomba community together to support people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. On a day marked by rain and winter cold, the message from Mission Australia and its community partners was clear: everyone deserves warmth, dignity and support. Thank you to Good360 and Wrap with Love.
