Paddling for a Purpose: Supporting Shoalhaven's Homeless

Mako Paddle Club is taking on an exciting and challenging 60km paddle across the beautiful waters of Jervis Bay to raise much-needed funds for SAHSSI (Supported Accommodation and Homelessness Services Shoalhaven Illawarra). SAHSSI is a dedicated not-for-profit charity that provides life-changing support and accommodation to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in our local Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions.

On Sunday, 20 October, 40 brave Mako members, will launch from Woollamia Boat Ramp, ready to face the elements and clock up 60km. We’re not just paddling for fun – we’re paddling with purpose, aiming to raise both awareness and funds for some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Every kilometre we cover is a step toward making a positive impact for those in need.

We believe in the power of community, and we’re inviting you to join us on this journey. Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward helping SAHSSI provide essential services, support, and accommodation to those who need it most. Your contribution can help give someone a safe place to stay, access to crucial support services, and the hope they need to rebuild their lives.

Please donate today and be part of this incredible effort to support those at risk in our community. Together, we can make a real difference.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us paddle with purpose!
