Can I volunteer with Backpack Bed for Homeless?

We distribute through established homeless agencies (such as crisis accommodation providers, street doctors, and outreach services) to ensure individuals are connected with longer-term support services.

While we do not have direct street-based volunteer roles, there are several meaningful ways you can get involved:

1. Fundraise

Help us get more Backpack Beds to people sleeping rough.

  • Start an online fundraiser via our website

  • Host a community event (we can provide forms and may be able to loan signage/materials)

2. Spread the Word

Awareness helps increase support.

  • Share posts on social media

  • Use the hashtag #BackpackBed

  • Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to learn more

3. Volunteer Locally

Since we partner with over 1,100 homeless agencies, you can contact your local homeless service directly to see if they are seeking volunteers.

This allows you to provide hands-on support while helping connect people with long-term services.

If you would like guidance on next steps, please feel free to contact us.
