Raine & Horne Foundation launches 'Clothes for a Cause' initiative for Australians doing it tough this winter

July 22, 2024

The Raine & Horne Foundation, the charitable arm of leading Australasian real estate firm Raine & Horne, is thrilled to announce the launch of ‘Clothes for a Cause,’ a heartfelt initiative aimed at making a tangible difference in the lives of those facing the harsh realities of homelessness this winter.

Each purchase translates to immediate relief for someone in need

Mr Angus Raine, Executive Chairman of Raine & Horne, said, “Through the Raine & Horne Foundation, we have partnered with our long-term charity ally, Dignity, to provide essential warm clothing to those in need.

“This winter, for every item of clothing purchased from our collection, we will donate the same non-branded essential clothing to Dignity on behalf of the buyer. It’s a one-for-one donation that will directly support Dignity’s crucial mission of supporting and empowering people at risk of or experiencing homelessness by providing warm clothing for the coldest months.

“This campaign has the support of our 3,000-strong network of principals, sales agents, property managers and administrative staff who are looking for a way to support those experiencing homelessness.”

Mr Raine added that he is proud that the range of clothes, which includes socks, hoodies and crew necks, is crafted with the highest-quality materials from renowned suppliers such as AS Colour.

“We are thrilled that any purchases will enable us to provide these premium, warm garments to those in need.”

Mr Raine also expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with Dignity, remarking, “This partnership once again underlines Raine & Horne Foundation’s commitment to creating lasting social impact.

“Over the last three years alone, our partnership with Dignity has raised over $200,000 while reinforcing our dedication to supporting causes crucial for the well-being of our communities.

“We believe this latest initiative with Dignity will allow the Raine & Horne Foundation to support Australians doing it tough this winter.”

Dignity, an organisation providing essential services such as supported temporary accommodation, longer-term housing and employment programs and food relief, has an extremely high success rate of supporting individuals find their path forward into stable housing.

Dignity's CEO, Ms Suzanne Hopman, is delighted by the latest initiative from the Raine & Horne Foundation. Raine & Horne and Dignity first collaborated in 2021.

“'Clothes for a Cause' is an initiative that will provide warm, new clothes for people experiencing homelessness. It is more challenging than ever, right now, to find a way forward out of homelessness. Therefore, supporting people by providing for basic needs and winter essentials is so important,” Ms Hopman added.
