Opal partnered with the City of Canterbury Bankstown for the Mayor’s Mission Australia Light’s Out Sleepout at Bankstown Airport this year.
As part of the event, Opal donated 80 cardboard shelters for attendees of the sleepout.
City of Canterbury Bankstown Mayor Bilal El-Hayek hosted the sleepout on 11 August, from 7 pm to 7 am to raise funds and awareness to support those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Opal NSW specialty packaging regional general manager Joe Ardolino helped with the donations supplied by Opal Speciality Packaging Orchard Hills and decided to participate in the sleepout.
“It was such a rewarding experience meeting amazing people, doing amazing things for others,” he said.
The event occurred out in the open at Bankstown Airport and included dinner, supper and an early breakfast.
