On Yer Feet winter campaign

As temperatures fall for winter, Wesley Mission Melbourne’s Homelessness and Support Services urges people to donate a new pair of socks to help people through the colder months. Having warm feet can make a huge difference to the quality of life for a person who is sleeping rough.
