Shout-out to Zameer Gill ❤️👏

After noticing people sleeping rough in the cold on his morning drive, local resident Zameer Gill decided to take action — donating 50 sleeping bags to Adelaide's homeless community this week.

“I normally drive down Unley Road through the Park Lands and along Pulteney Street. Often you'll see a few blokes wrapped up as best as possible, meanwhile I have my seat warmer on in my fancy Kia," he told 891 ABC Adelaide’s Breakfast with Sonya, Jules and Rory McClaren.

“I saw a sale on sleeping bags and thought I could do something.”

“I feel so grateful that the staff at Hutt St Centre were so helpful. I went back and got more sleeping bags the next day. It's nice to see that there is so much positivity in the community.”

A simple act of kindness that will make a real difference this winter.
