It's in the bag

As we indicated in our last newsletter we have started collecting handbags, backpacks and items to fill them as part of supporting the "It's in the Bag" charity this year.  Thank you for your generous support so far!  We are looking for more items and bags so if you are able to donate something we would greatly appreicate it!

We would like to make this a community event run by Skye Keller, the Pastoral Support Worker.  Please come along for a cuppa and help make up the handbags and backpacks from the donations on Friday, 22nd November at 9:00am.

Bunnings is co-ordinating a collection of the bags between Friday, 22nd November to Saturday, 7th December and Skye will take them to the donation centre.

What goes in the bag?

Ask yourself what would a homeless woman need? Chances are, she needs the same personal care and sanitary items you do.  Your handbag can be packed full of useful things and little luxuries. Especially relevant items are those little things you need every day, from your toothbrush to your hairbrush. Because nobody should go without life’s little essentials!

What goes into the backpack?  Think about what a child would like to have with them.  Something to play with, something to cuddle, something to read, a snack.  Next time you are out at the shops just have a look around and decide to make a difference.

We will set up a donations tub in the Front Office so if you would like to get involved please bring something along or speak to the Front Office staff.
