The Bold Platform

Whilst working in the Sydney CBD, Gali and Madelyn were often confronted by the number of people sleeping rough in the city. A chance conversation at work sparked the idea for The Good box, and they set to work. 300 boxes later, The Good Box has already made a beautiful impact on the homeless community. The Good Box is more than food donations and hygiene products, it is about connection and conversation as well.
