Mecca Espresso and Qantas Helping Hands Community together are raising funds for Youth Off The Streets.

The target is to raise $3000 to replace the out of life oven in the kitchen at Don Bosco House, Marrickville in Sydney.

You can donate at any of our stores by placing your donation in one of the donation boxes provided. In light of the urgency of the sitiuation we are aiming to reach our target by Friday 21st October 2011. Your contribution will go directly towards the cause and help us reach our target and will go a long way to support the youth of Sydney.

Don Bosco House provides crisis and short term accommodation for young homeless people between the ages of 15-18. The refuge provides young people with a safe and supportive environment.

The kitchen facilities at Don Bosco house are used to prepare lunch and dinner for the residents. It is also used to prepare means for the food van that goes out every night of the year in Sydney to Green Park and Darlinghurst.

Youth Off The Streets supports homeless and drug addicted young Australians as they work to turn their lives around. The goal is to have these young people leave the care of YOTS drug free, with a high school education, living skills and a full or part time job in hand. Based on the philosophy that every young person has greatness within, these programs are non-denominational and non-discriminatory.
