I’ll be collecting any items to give towards this amazing good cause. If you have anything to donate, as of next week I’ll have a box available in my waiting area❤️❤️
Okay I am terrified. I feel so responsible for the outcome of the campaign and as I stand here today for our It's in the Bag photoshoot at Bunnings I am oscillating between being terrified and full of joy about this upcoming campaign.
The gap of It's in the Bag that we collect compared to how many are requested by our charities just keeps getting wider and wider and I honestly don't know what more I can do.
In 2019 (yep before COVID) we were collecting over 130,000 bags but now we are collecting around 80,000. It’s such a dramatic drop and I just don’t know what else to do. I fully understand the rising cost of living is affecting so many, but I just can't keep not being able to fulfill all the requests. It breaks my heart that women and girls will wake up in a DV shelter on Christmas without a bag and you have no idea just how life-changing a bag filled with essentials can feel to receive.
Got any ideas about how we could get more bags? I am open to all suggestions, I need help www.sharethedignity.org.au/itsinthebag
