We are aligning the give-back element of The 100,000 Human Movement with Orange Sky Australia, an organisation whose mission is to positively connect communities.
Orange Sky supports people experiencing homelessness or hardship through access to free laundry, warm showers and genuine, non-judgemental conversation. Their service creates a safe, welcoming space for connection, belonging and practical support.
Founded in Brisbane in 2014 by Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett, Orange Sky began with a simple idea: provide free laundry services to people sleeping rough. The organisation has since grown into a national service supporting people across metropolitan, regional and remote communities, including through natural disaster response and other community programs.
At the heart of their work is something wonderfully human: connection.
Orange Sky describes genuine, non-judgemental conversation as the heart of its service. Volunteers create welcoming spaces where people can connect, share experiences, feel heard and experience a sense of belonging.
That matters to us.
Because the human experience is never simply individual.
