Pop in and support the Share the Dignity August campaign today!

🌸 Share the Dignity – August Campaign 🌸

A reminder that the August Share the Dignity campaign wraps up this Sunday, 31st August.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated throughout the month – your generosity makes a real difference. 💗

We are especially in need of tampons to help stock local agencies, ensuring women and girls in our community don’t go without essential hygiene products.

🩷 Donations can be placed in the collection boxes at Woolworths and Blooms the Chemist until Sunday.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation before the campaign closes. Every contribution counts. 🙏

Together, we can help restore dignity. 💕
