Service Beyond School
Homeless We Care is run by Jane Armstrong (1993) and her partner Sim. Together, they enlist a small army each week to provide food and care services for the homeless in Perth city and in Fremantle.
The OGA has made the commitment to assist Homeless We Care with food and supplies as often as we can. We are always looking for alumni to contribute to our service programs.
