The official charity partner for the 2024 Steadfast Convention is Orange Sky Australia, a Brisbane-born charity providing free laundry, showers and genuine conversation to Aussies across the country experiencing homelessness and hardship.
We have a simple formula, focusing on creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or who feel disconnected from the community. Our volunteers are not social workers or experts on homelessness - they are empathetic listeners and great conversationalists.
The Steadfast theme this year is 'Connect', and with Orange Sky's mission of 'Postively Connecting Communities', you can make an impact at the 2024 Convention by making a donation to help connect the 122,400 Aussies experiencing homelessness with free laundry, warm showers and genuine connection.
Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness – an idea founded in a Brisbane garage by two 20-year-old best mates, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett.
In late 2014, the boys installed a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back of their old van and visited parks around Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free. What started as an idea to improve hygiene standards and restore dignity to people doing it tough has evolved into something much bigger and more powerful.
