Wave FM wraps up Hoodies for the Homeless campaign
The Illawarra region’s Wave FM has spearheaded a campaign to give hoodies to those sleeping rough.
The campaign was inspired by Breakfast co-host Damien Leith’s son, Jarvis. The teenager had recently undertaken a school assignment which revealed the depths of Australia’s homelessness crisis, even in the Illawarra region.
On the Jade, Straney & Damien show, Jarvis said 1,600 people in the region on any given night are without a home.
The campaign exceeded expectations, with 6,800 hoodies donated by the people of the Illawarra.
Gotta love how Grants have live and local breakfast shows
in regional markets.
Good one Damien and the crew.
