Anything else we should know?  Lots. Homie doesn’t just direct money to homelessness, their Melbourne store is used to train people in retail Once a month the brand hosts a ‘VIP shopping day’ where up to 30 customers experiencing homelessness get a feed, haircut, grooming, clothes and connections to community and support groups. It’s all about treating people with dignity and creating job opportunities and pathways to a better life.

So how did it all come to be?  Mates Marcus, Nick and Robbie got to chatting with people living on the streets of Melbourne began sharing their stories via a dedicated Facebook page and before too long the whole idea snowballed. With a successful crowd funding effort, the label and store was born.
