The day I arrived I was a broken, humiliated and demoralised person. I had been through so much. I don’t know how the team did it but they helped me to become a strong and independent woman. They treated me with kindness, compassion and most importantly respect. I went from homeless to hopeful.

Physical donations to HKWS
Our Shelter runs with the same comfort and love that your home does.
We have very limited storage, so we can only accept particular items at certain times. When we need a particular item, we will do a call out to our community on social media. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram so you can stay updated.
If you would like to know what our current needs are, please email ua.gro.swkh@eciffo and we can inform you of our latest wishlist items, as these constantly change.
If you would like to support HKWS by purchasing ‘gift cards’ to be used by our residents, these are always needed and gratefully received. Gift cards to outlets such as Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, Kmart etc. are very useful and empowering to the women in our care. Please post these gift cards to PO Box 641 Hornsby NSW 1630, and be sure to send an email to ua.gro.swkh@eciffo so we can say thank you.
Please note we do not accept second-hand bedding or clothes.
