Thank you for your support.

Young people experiencing homeless are largely hidden from view and aren’t homeless by choice.

They move constantly between the homes of family members or, as is often the case with young people, who couch surf, a series of acquaintances.  Some stay in refuges, boarding houses, cheap motels, caravans and even cars.  As you can imagine, such uncertainty can take an enormous toll on a person’s self- worth and capacity to go to school, find work and stay healthy.

Please take a moment to read Adam’s story and see how your gift makes a real difference.

Baptist Care SA’s homelessness service at the WestCare Centre receives no government funding.  It’s donors like you who enable us to provide vital assistance, when it’s needed most.

There’s no doubt about it, South Australians are having a tough time.  Severe overcrowding is on the rise and we’ve seen more people sleeping rough – more than 100 every night in inner city Adelaide.  Last year, Baptist Care SA’s WestCare Emergency Relief Program assisted 367 individuals and 387 families – we had to turn more than 200 people away hungry.

We are always in need of staples like:

Change the future, today.

Leaving a Gift in your Will is the ultimate way to care for your family and loved ones. It can also be transformative for those served by organisations like Baptist Care SA. In making these gifts, you are expressing enduring care and commitment.
 

Who will your Gift help?

Every week, hundreds of children, families and individuals reach out to us for support.

Your gift will support the ongoing provision of

• a safe, caring place to live for children unable to stay with their families
• education and employment opportunities for young people who would otherwise find it very hard to get a job and gain vital living skills
• a warm welcome and access to vital services for those experiencing homelessness and disadvantage
• therapeutic services to empower individuals and families to overcome adversity and embrace opportunity
• early intervention initiatives designed to break the cycle and give struggling South Australians their future back.

Different Types of Gifts you can give

In general, there are three major types of gifts you can include in your Will:

• Specific Gifts
  These are gifts of particular pieces of property such as houses, cars, jewellery, books  or clothing made to a person or organisation
• General Gifts
  Sums or money or percentages of the value of your estate made to a particular person or organisation.
• Residual Gifts
  These are what is left after the specific and general bequests have been paid.

You choose how your Gift will be directed

A gift to Baptist Care SA

Gifts to Baptist Care SA are carefully considered by our Board and allocated according to need, unless specified by you.

A gift to Baptist Care (SA) Foundation

Gifts to our Foundation are placed in an Endowment Fund for the long-term benefit of Baptist Care SA. Every year a minimum of 4% of the revenue generated from the fund is given to Baptist Care SA.  How this is used is determined by the Baptist Care SA Board, but is broadly directed to building organisational capacity and community engagement.
