I'm collecting donations for Share the Dignity

I am currently collecting donations of feminine hygiene products and other items in order to help women fleeing domestic violence, homeless or in poverty.

The "it's in the bag" drive is in November, so I am starting now (March 2025) to get a big head start and collect as many things as I can to impact the lives of women.

All funds raised from this page will help provide free period products to those in need and give them the dignity they deserve when dealing with their periods. 

Any support you can give towards this fundraiser will go along way, making a huge, life-changing difference to the lives of many. 


About Share the Dignity

Share the Dignity works to make a real, on the ground difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. 

They distribute period products to those in need and work to end period poverty here in Australia. When someone is doing it tough, the last thing on their mind should be dealing with their period.

My Updates

A big thank you to Candice for donating these baby & pregnancy books, as well as some other items. They will be so valuable for the mums & bubs bags, I'm sure they will be treasured and valued. Thank you again!

Rebecca's donation

Tuesday 15th Apr
Thank you to another generous donator, Rebecca! These books will be awesome for women to read, there's a little bit of everything here. Some really good gold nuggets to add to handbags as a finishing touch.

Rabia's donation

Tuesday 15th Apr
Thank you so much to Rabia for donating these books to the cause! I haven't been able to collect many books so far, so it's been really good to get some to add to handbags for women to keep their mind off things or learn something new. A really lovely donation.

Josie's donation

Friday 11th Apr
I haven't been able to collect any jewelry so far, but thanks to Josie we now have many necklaces and bracelets to hand out! Thank you so much for your donation Josie!

Belinda's donation

Friday 11th Apr
Thank you so much Belinda for donating these pregnancy, post-partum, baby and women's hygiene products! I haven't managed to collect any books so far, so it was a great addition!

Helen's donation

Tuesday 8th Apr
The lovely Helen got in touch with me after I reached out to some community-minded organisations and generously donated all these toiletries. So many women and girls will benefit from these things, thank you for such a great donation!

My nan's second donation <3

Friday 4th Apr
A big shoutout to my nan who found these handbags! She hasn't used them in a while but they're still in great condition and ready to be used for the drive. Your kindness and love will now touch the hearts of more women <3

Marian's donation

Another lovely Facebook market-placer, Marian, kindly donated all these post-partum items to the cause. Thank you so much!

Thea's donation

Friday 4th Apr
Thank you for your fantastic and rather big donation, Thea! These incontinence undies will go a long way towards helping those who need them.

Sarah's donation

Friday 4th Apr
A big thank you to Sarah, another very generous Facebook Market-placer who donated these nappies. They will be going into a "mum & bub" bag, so two people out there will benefit <3

$2 dollar shop purchase

Wednesday 2nd Apr
I spotted some relatively cheap pocket tissues at a two dollar shop today that I couldn't pass on... pocket tissues are hard to find second hand/cheaper than the supermarket, so I was grateful to come across these. 

Vinnie's purchase

Wednesday 2nd Apr
A local vinnies store have kindly been collecting items on the Share the Dignity list for me to collect when I visit their store every now and again. Thank you so much for this second lot of hygiene items - many women will benefit from them!

Louisa's donation

Wednesday 2nd Apr
I've been struggling to find oral hygiene products that are somewhat en-mass to go and collect for donation - there just aren't many around! But thanks to another Facebook Market-placer, we now have collected some toothbrushes, toothpaste and some other hygiene products of which we are so grateful. Thank you so much for adding some extra things to your donation too, it will help so many women!

Tina's donation

Wednesday 2nd Apr
Another generous donation given by a lovely FaceBook Market-placer. Lots of pads, undies and wipes to help many women :)

Op-shop purchases

Friday 28th Mar
I went to some of the local op shops today and collected heaps of pads, disposable undies, reusable period undies, soap, pre-packaged shower sets, pocket tissues and handbags for all these items to eventually go in - all period products were sealed and unused, so perfect for donations! This has been the most I've ever collected in one go.

Don't worry, I made sure to leave some packets behind for other women to purchase in case they need some. 

Facebook Marketplace donation from Xeandi

Wednesday 26th Mar
Another person on facebook marketplace was generous enough to give me these to donate towards a "mum & bub" bag - thank you so much for your kindness Xeandi!

Thank you, nan <3

Wednesday 26th Mar
A big thanks to my very generous nan, as without her I wouldn't have had such a great start to my donation and collection process. She gave me lots of sanitary items, shampoos, conditioners, soap bars and other items that some women out there will love! Thank you so much for helping me make a difference! <3

Organisation time...

Wednesday 26th Mar
After getting some donations over the past few days, I recently decided to organise my storage area seeing I'll be holding onto these items until November. It's already looking promising. 

We still need to collect more oral care items as there aren't many of those, but off to a good start. It makes me smile knowing these items will benefit even just one woman out there going through a hard time.

Facebook Marketplace donation from Jill

Wednesday 26th Mar
Found these of facebook marketplace as well, Jill was willing to give them for me as a donation, of which I am so grateful! There were some perfect items in there that will make many women smile.

Facebook Marketplace purchase from Wendy

Wednesday 26th Mar
Found these on Facebook Marketplace and collected this morning, thank you so much Wendy! Someone out there will be so happy to receive them.

The first donation!

Tuesday 25th Mar
The first donation for It's in the Bag! I found these on facebook marketplace and thought they would be perfect! Off to a good start I think! :)
