The 15th annual Night of Giving took place virtually this year on Saturday, with attendees streaming the event from home to raise awareness and support for Hospitality House.
Thousands of people watched from the shelter’s website, Facebook page, YouTube channel and on public access television, but more than just watching, the community responded.
Throughout the evening, online and phone-in donations were received, and thanks to angel donors who offered a triple match donation incentive to inspire deeper giving, just over $60,000 was raised to help homeless men, women, children, seniors and veterans in need.

THE magic of Merry Muster shoppers is still rippling around the region with one Ballandean business calling the visitors an “injection” of love for local stores.
Last weekend, over 370 shoppers showed up to Ballandean Estate for the Granite Belt’s biggest picnic of 2020.
Fourth-generation vigneron Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi said locavore picnic experience took days to prepare and a whopping 3850 pieces of sesame lavosh, 70kg of hand roasted capsicums, 40kg of grilled zucchini and more. Merry muster shoppers at Ballandean Estate.
“When Christine Bonner, founder of the Merry Muster, called last week to speak to Barrelroom chefs Matt and Bobbi Wells about last minute menu requests, and mentioned 370 people, I was flabbergasted. It was hard to keep my cool or contain my excitement!,” Ms Puglisi-Gangemi said.
