Helping the Homeless

By creating Australian first initiatives and partnering with not-for-profits and social enterprises such as The Big Issue and Brothers in Need we aim to provide Australians experiencing homelessness the support and opportunities they need.

Crescent Care Packs

Originally conceived by one of our directors, Professor Talal Yassine, the Crescent Care Packs initiative is responsible for the creation and distribution of packs containing basic hygiene items to people experiencing homelessness. 

Since 2020, Crescent Foundation has partnered with Brothers in Need and Unity Grammar School to deliver more than 2,000 packs and aims to expand the program to 50,000+ in 2023 and beyond.
