MILESTONES – 100,000: The Companions Donation Hub have packed 100,000 items for the homeless since March 2020

6 September 2021

Since March 2020 at the start of the first Covid lockdown the Donation Hub has delivered over 100,000 items of clothes, toiletries and small items of entertainment to the homeless rehoused in hotels and hostels in central London. Members of the Order, Companions, OMV and other helpers have come together to make this possible during the acute stages of the pandemic. 
More recently, the Companions responded to a call from Caritas Westminster for clothes and toiletries for 200 refugees. Many more are expected to need help in the coming weeks and months, both in London and in locations around the country.
