Karingal Family Medical Centre is pleased to support "It’s in the Bag," one of Australia’s most cherished Christmas appeals, where everyday Australians are encouraged to fill a bag (teen, adult, or mum & bub bag) with essential items and a simple hand written note.

Each donation is personally checked, tagged and recorded by volunteers, then transported to charity partners who will gift them to women and girls waking up in domestic violence shelters or homelessness refuges on Christmas Day.

Fill a handbag with everyday essentials and some
extra special items and drop it to Karingal Family Medical Centre by November 28th.

Thank-you for your support of women in need.
