Raffle to Support HOME in Queanbeyan 2025

Funds raised in the raffle goes towards providing a supportive and loving long-term home for 20 residents living with an enduring mental illness who would otherwise be at risk of homelessness. HOME does not receive any recurrent government funding and is proudly community owned. To continue to provide a HOME for our valued residents, HOME needs to raise over $350,000 annually. This model ensures that residents have a stable and long-term home now and into the future.

Ticket sales close on Wednesday, 5 November 2025 at 10:00 AM (Australia/Canberra).

The Canberra and Queanbeyan communities have supported HOME for more than 15 years by volunteering their skills and time, donations and raising awareness about mental health. Residents live in their own self contained units paying rent and electricity. HOME provides lunch each day cooked by volunteers and residents come together to enjoy a meal, good conversation and friendship. Residents know that they are valued and important and deserve a loving and supportive home.
