ABOUT US
Who we are
Blessing Bags was founded in June 2015 by the then 18-year-old Laura, who saw people living on the streets of Melbourne on her commute to university. Laura was compelled to do something to help, so she started Blessing Bags based on the quote, "Now that I have seen, I am responsible".
Today, Blessing Bags is run by a team of committed volunteers who aim to make a difference. An independent not for profit organisation, we support and empower people currently experiencing homelessness and those at risk of experiencing homelessness.
