LARA-based property developer Bisinella Developments has joined the fight against homelessness in the Geelong region, donating land in aid of a not-for-profit organisation.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from the sale of Lot 337 of Reflections Crescent at Lara Lakes Estate will be used to cover operating costs of Samaritan House, a Moolap-based charity that aims to provide crisis accommodation for homeless men across Geelong.<\/p>\n
Samaritan House Geelong director Wally Pelaccia said the organisation was grateful to receive the land.<\/p>\n
“We couldn’t provide the level of support to this vulnerable community without the support from Lino Bisinella and the wider Bisinella family,” Mr Pelaccia said.<\/p>\n
“Bisinella Developments’ donation of Lot 337 at Lara Lakes Estate is a testament to their commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting the Geelong community.<\/p>\n
“This generous act will help Samaritan House continue to provide critical services to those in need and work towards a future where everyone has a place to call home.”<\/p>\n
Bisinella Developments director Richard Bisinella highlighted the severity of homelessness, not only in Geelong, but also across Australia.<\/p>\n
“This makes support for organisations like Samaritan House even more important, and I’m proud to contribute to helping the welfare of some of Geelong’s most vulnerable,” Mr Bisinella said.<\/p>\n
“I would welcome everyone to donate to this incredible organisation to ensure everyone in our community has access to essential services and support.”<\/p>\n
The land will bring Bisinella’s total contribution to Samaritan House to more than $1 million over the past four years.<\/p>\n
That sum has helped close to 70 per cent of Samaritan House guests move on to secure housing or rented accommodation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
