Our impact in Perth
Orange Sky currently has two vans in Perth, providing clean clothes, safe warm showers and regular connection to people doing it tough.
Our first Western Australian service was launched in February 2016 when 'Koorda' found a home in Perth, before 'Karla' - a hybrid laundry and shower van - started operating in June 2017.
The two vans are supported by a team of amazing volunteers, who give up time each and every week to help our friends on the street access clean clothes and genuine conversation. Our Perth vans service locations across the city and play an important role in helping people doing it tough in the community.
Perth is also part of our Social Impact Washing program that helps to provide employment opportunities for some of our friends. When Koorda is not out on shift, the van is being used by our friends - with the support of volunteers - to do laundry for local businesses. It's just another way that Orange Sky is helping to positively connect communities.
Our thanks to Woodside for supporting Karla and Koorda, helping us to positively connect the Perth Community.
Koorda is the sixth and Karla is the sixteenth van in Orange Sky's fleet.
