During March, staff and students of JPC have been supporting Orange Sky and their work with the homeless. We have walked laps of the oval every day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by homeless people when it comes to washing clothing, bedding and personal hygiene.

The volunteers at Orange Sky provide a platform for everyday Australians to connect through a regular laundry and shower service. The focus is on creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored, or who feel disconnected from the community. The volunteers provide a listening ear and are great conversationalists in working with people who need their services.

We are immensely proud to announce that the community at JPC has walked or run 1048 km in the last month in support of the work Orange Sky does and a donation will be made to the charity from our community.
