Eldercare donations to support women experiencing hardship, homelessness or poverty this Christmas
Eldercare staff, volunteers and suppliers have donated 200 bags to Share the Dignity’s 2022 ‘It's in the Bag’ campaign to help women fleeing domestic violence or experiencing extreme hardship this Christmas.
The donated items and money raised were used to fill 200 gift bags containing personal hygiene products and essential items.
Many women who will receive an Eldercare gift bag this Christmas have fled domestic or family violence situations.
“As a White Ribbon accredited workplace, Eldercare is committed to ending violence against women and we are proud to support this annual Christmas appeal to help those who are experiencing homelessness or poverty,” said Eldercare Chief Executive Jane Pickering.
