Port Kennedy SUPA IGA is turning a light on homelessness

Next month, on Thursday night 22 June, Ike Abdulla of Port Kennedy SUPA IGA will be joining around 100 other WA businesses for the 2017 Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise funds for WA homeless.

“Our aim is to raise $5,000 to help Vinnies provide immediate relief to people in crisis and to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.

As owner of Port Kennedy SUPA IGA , I’m proud to participate in this Vinnies initiative to help fellow WA locals and ask for your support”.

On the best available data, just under 10,000 Western Australians are homeless every night.
