Boileau's donation to Hutt St Centre

At the end of 2020 we decided to donate the money we would normally spend on corporate Christmas gifts to a cause that's close to our hearts. Last week, it was a pleasure to donate that money to Hutt St Centre.

 

For many years, Boileau Business Technology has proudly supported Hutt St Centre and the work they do to help South Australians who are dealing with homelessness.

Our Managing Director Angelique Boileau has always felt strongly about giving back to the community and is thrilled to see the centre expand its premises to offer even more help to people in need.

"Boileau already takes part in the Walk a Mile in My Boots fundraiser and other events by Hutt St Centre but being able to contribute in this way feels even more special," Angelique said.

"Our donation will form part of the new Family Area at Hutt St Centre's renovated premises, which was officially opened on Sunday 28 February.

"It was delightful to attend the opening and see first-hand the impact our donation will have."

Taking to LinkedIn recently, Hutt St Centre's General Manager of Fundraising and Communications Mike Francis thanked Angelique and Boileau Business Technology for their continued support.

"It was a real pleasure to host Angelique at Hutt St Centre and thank her for the wonderful support of Boileau over the years," Mike said.

"Her recent donation to our new Family Area will help make the transition of young families, recently experiencing homelessness, into safe and secure housing a lot less stressful.

"Now they have comfortable, private, modern rooms to relax and meet with our case managers, which is the first stage in rebuilding their lives."

For over 68 years, Hutt St Centre has helped people dealing with homelessness without judgement by offering meals, shower and laundry facilities, health and legal services, education and training and accommodation services.
