Rosies Oblate Youth Ministry Fundraiser

Rosies has a ministry of being "Friends On The Street." Each Wednesday and Friday night a team of up to twelve 18-30 year old volunteers operate a coffee van offering friendship and hospitality through the simple gesture of a free hot or cold drink. 

Rosies volunteers are not social workers and are not an accommodation agency. They provide a comfortable and safe environment on Flinders Street, in which to belong, especially for those who appear to be homeless or lonely. Rosies is open to all who seek a friendly community. 

Rosies volunteers develop friendships by having a listening ear. One of the many frustrations for the homeless is not only finding food and shelter, but also finding someone to listen to their story and to be their "Friend On The Street". 

In our school at St Justin’s we are supported by each other when we look after each other. Some ofthe ways we look after each other are looking out for each other, being kind to one another andincluding others. Both Rosies and St Justin’s are both trying to promote togetherness and community no matter whether it is indoors or outdoors.

We invite everyone to bring in a donation  by Friday 18th August to help the Rosies volunteers continue to support the vulnerable people that they support.

Can you please donate one of the following:

a jar of instant coffee

a tin of milo or

a box of tea

Donations will be collected from the classroom and we will present them to the Rosies coordinator at an assembly.

Thank you to the Romulus in Year 2 for helping to lead this fundraiser.
