Share the Dignity is an Australian charity for women, that strives to make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to women, girls, and anyone who menstruates who needs support.
In November, Share the Dignity hold an annual event called 'It's in the bag'. This event calls for donations of bags filled with essential items for girls and women in need at Christmas.
Relying on donations, OneStreet St Ives organised a drive to help support the charity.
Leading into Christmas, the Street Coordinator from OneStreet, St Ives, investigated options for donations that could be made by the group.
Share the Dignity's program - 'It's in the bag' struck a chord – the impact that bags full of toiletries, sanitary products and nappies could make to women and children in need was incredible.
