• Food donations must be in date and unopened.
• Toiletries must be standard size – no hotel/travel sized.  Clients can stay in our refuges for a number of months so these are more suitable.
• Sanitary items must be unopened.
• Clothing must be unworn and new.
• Linen must be new and unused.
• Opal cards and gift vouchers for any amount are useful. Pre loaded and activated means they are easy to use for someone in need.
• Any electrical items must be brand new and packaged.
• Technology items such a phones, tablets and laptops can help someone be safely contactable or study. Items from after 2012 that can turn on, has no cracked screen and includes a charger will be of great use. 
• Furniture can be second hand but must be in good working order. When contacting the team to donate, please include a photo of the items of furniture available.

The reason we request that donations such as clothing or linen be new and unused is that quality items help restore dignity for women and their families after experiences of homelessness and domestic violence. Items like gift vouchers are important and useful because they provide autonomy for women to choose the items they know their families need.
