Holy Fools Inc.

Holy Fools is an organisation dedicated to easing the pain of those experiencing the trauma of homelessness and poverty within the Yarra Ranges.

We do this in many ways; from community meals, providing food and welfare, to hosting educational events and running research.

Our Street Angels service operates a weekly food van/BBQ's, reaching into the more difficult areas of the Yarra Ranges to bring fresh food, community and health links. In addition, we operate Matt’s Cafe, a bi-weekly community meal in Lilydale that feeds families, individuals and many experiencing rental and mortgage stress.

We often partner with other organisations in the Yarra Ranges and welcome others to join us in the effort to meet the needs and issues within the Shire.

Short-term goals include the building of crisis accommodation, as well as partnering with others to create long-term solutions about homelessness. 

We hope that you can join us in making the light shine in people’s lives that for so long have been in the darkness of poverty and homelessness. 

We are largely funded through the generosity of individual donors and do not receive any government funding.

Donations made by individuals and companies over $2, donations are 100% tax deductible.
