Share the Dignity is an organisation that works to make a real, on the ground difference in the lives of women experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence or doing it tough and focus on ending period poverty in Australia. “It’s In the Bag” campaign runs from 20th to 29th November and is predominately a donation drive of basic essentials, period products and some special items which get delivered to registered charities to be distributed to those in crisis in time for Christmas.
We will be doing the adult bags and I ask that members, their friends, family and colleagues start collecting any of the following items:
- Handbags or small female style backpacks that are new or if pre-loved they have to be in great condition, clean and no clear signs of use
- Shampoo & Conditioner
- Toothbrush & Toothpaste
- Bodywash or Soap
- Roll-on Deodorant
- Sealed packets of pads or tampons (regular to super absorbency recommended)
- They also encourage additional items that would make someone feel special such as makeup, accessories, moisturiser, facemasks, hand cream, handmade items, purses etc. Keep in mind, 'what would I like to receive during such a difficult time?'
Note - All items donated should be in their original packaging, sealed and in great condition.
