"Keep Bendigo's Shower Truck Rolling: Dignity for All”

Hello Bendigo, I’m reaching out to you not just as an organiser, but as a fellow local who deeply believes that no one in our city should ever feel forgotten or alone. Our shower truck has been a lifeline for so many — providing over 300 warm showers in just the past three months to people experiencing homelessness and hardship, right here on our streets. But it’s so much more than a shower: it’s a safe place where people are met with kindness, respect, and dignity — sometimes for the first time in a long time. This is only possible because of a team of remarkable volunteers who freely give their time, compassion, and hearts. They are the quiet heroes restoring hope and human connection, one shower at a time. But now, to keep this lifeline going for another year, we urgently need your help. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to cover the costs of operating, maintaining, and restocking our mobile service so we can continue serving our community without interruption. Your sponsorship or donation will directly provide: ✅ Hot showers for those who have none ✅ Essential hygiene supplies — shampoo, body wash, deodorant, sanitary items ✅ Fuel and maintenance to keep our shower truck on the road ✅ Support and resources for our dedicated volunteers As a sponsor, your business or organisation will be proudly acknowledged as a partner making a real, tangible difference in the lives of Bendigo’s most vulnerable people. You’ll be part of a story of compassion, dignity, and local community spirit — something our city can truly be proud of. Please, help us keep this promise alive. Together, we can make sure our neighbours in need continue to feel seen, supported, and cared for — because no one should ever feel invisible in Bendigo. I would love the chance to talk with you more about how you can be part of this vital work. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing beside us. With sincere gratitude,

Daryl Lynch On behalf of our incredible volunteers and every person we’ve helped, and hope to keep helping.
