While the work to end homelessness continues, nights like this remind us why it’s so important. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gbbNJ-Bp

One night outdoors can have a lasting impact. PAYCE Foundation Director Dominic Sullivan and PAYCE executive Tony Wishart joined hundreds of business leaders for this year's Vinnies CEO Sleepout, raising $28,631 to support Australians experiencing homelessness. While one night cannot replicate the reality faced by people sleeping rough, the event helps fund essential services including emergency accommodation, food relief, outreach programs and crisis support. The PAYCE Foundation is grateful to everyone who supported this year's fundraising effort and to St Vincent de Paul Society NSW for the important work they do every day. 📝 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gd7myNY7 #TransformingLives
