We still need more donations, MONDAY IS LAST DROP DAY before they collect them all.
Please over the weekend add some period products to your grocery list and pop them into the box on Monday.
We’ve already had such an amazing donation, let’s make it more and help women in need.

📣 COOOOEEE!!! 📣

This is it - the FINAL WEEKEND of our March Dignity Drive!

Our charity partners have requested approximately 200,000 period products, but so far, we’ve only collected around 45% of that number. With just a few days to go, we urgently need your help to close the gap.

Please, if you can, donate unopened period products at any Woolworths Supermarket or registered business collection point this weekend. Every single pack makes a difference to someone doing it tough. 💗

Your donations help women, girls and those who menstruate who are experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or facing hardship to manage their period with dignity.

We still need more donations, with one week left in this drive for Share the Dignity. Let’s dig deep and add some extra products to your groceries this week.

We’re down to the FINAL WEEK of our March Dignity Drive - and we're not kidding when we say that every donation counts!

Thank you, Angela, for sharing this story with us: "I was standing in line today waiting to pay for all my groceries when a woman behind me remarked on how many tampons, pads, etc I had.

"She suggested I might like the Diva cup. I explained to her that they were all for donating to Share the Dignity.

"She was so intrigued she whipped out her phone to look it up on Facebook and talked about how she would look into donating. She said how she had always wondered how homeless women coped and how wonderful it was that someone had done something."

Please, when you’re shopping this week, grab an extra period product and drop them into one of our pink collection boxes at Woolworths Supermarkets or registered business collection points.

Tag a friend to remind them - one act of kindness can change someone’s life.
