Each year the organisation, Share the Dignity facilitates an ‘It’s in the bag drive’ asking communities to donate used or new bags filled with lots of personal items for women and girls in need. We put our hand up as a donation point and put the call out to the community in mid-October with an overwhelming response from women across the Shire, with over 40 bags received and ready to be donated – give yourselves a pat on the back ladies, what an amazing result!
The campaign gives power to the people to make the life of a women or girl experiencing homelessness or poverty this Christmas a little brighter. The bags are filled with everyday luxuries, personal hygiene products and sanitary items, that homeless women, women at risk or women experiencing domestic violence may not have.
According to the Share the Dignity website, there are over 85,000 homeless women who need help this Christmas and the small gestures in donating a bag will assist in making one of the 85,000 women feel a little more special this festive season.
Thanks to everyone who donated, we will be delivering the bags to our local coordinator in Williams who will distribute them across regional WA.
