WHAT WE DO

Anonymous X has been providing essential items to Melbourne's homeless community for over 10 years.

Thanks to the amazing people who have supported us since the beginning, we’ve have had the privilege of assisting countless individuals.

Our mission is to provide assistance to people experiencing homelessness, primarily men's and women's clothing, shoes, sanitary items, toiletry items, bedding items, and other essential supplies that make a significant difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness.

All the generous donations we receive are carefully sorted, categorised and stored, awaiting distribution.

We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of all those who require our support and we aim to help alleviate some of the challenges and difficulties that homeless individuals face on a daily basis.

“Clothing can help to boost self-esteem, which is important for people experiencing homelessness as they often face discrimination and negative stereotypes.

When we wear clothes, the associations we place on them have the power to alter the way we feel and even impact the way we act.

When people feel like they have control and agency over their situation, they may experience less stress, anxiety, and depression, better physical health and are less likely to engage in health-compromising behaviours.

Being able to express your own personal style, is an important aspect of identity and self-worth.”

Sean Thornton

Founding Director

Collaboration is an important cornerstone in order to provide as much assistance where it’s needed. We work collectively with other small groups, non for profits and charitable organisations with similar values to ours.

Anonymous X often donates various items to crisis support agencies and refuge accommodations, as well as assertive outreach assistance items to numerous charities throughout the Melbourne region.

What sets Anonymous X apart is our commitment to establishing relationships with the people we help and offer practical and emotional support in a tailored way to the specific needs of each individual. This is where we truly make a difference.

Restoring dignity to those we provide assistance to is one of the key factors that continue to motivate the team… to treat others as equals irrespective of life circumstances and to accept the compassion of neighbors in times of need.

Anonymous X aims to provide the most efficient and effective programs, that have the ability and capability of providing  direct assistance to those in need, when they need it.

The Anonymous X goal is to #makeadifference.
