Parramatta Mission is inviting the community to unite in compassion and action for Homelessness Week 2025, taking place from Sunday 3rd to Friday 10th August. With a series of free public events aimed at raising awareness, fostering connection, and advocating for meaningful solutions to homelessness, this is a powerful opportunity for every Sydneysider to get involved.
Why It Matters
Homelessness continues to be a pressing issue across Australia, affecting thousands of individuals and families. Homelessness Week is not only a time for reflection, but a call to action — to learn, support, and stand alongside those experiencing hardship. Parramatta Mission has long been a pillar of hope in Western Sydney, and this year’s events are set to amplify that impact.
