Thank you for thinking of us! We are already seeing the impact that COVID-19 and its subsequent effects it is having on those most vulnerable. Women and children who are experiencing homelessness and domestic violence, who are jobless or who are facing other forms of systemic disadvantage, will be even more strongly impacted.
Below are some suggested items that would be valuable for our women's needs and well-being during this time:
- Food, preferably non-perishables, items such as olive oil, rice, pasta, long life milk, coffee and tea
- Out of stock materials such as toilet paper, disinfectant, paper towels, and hand sanitiser
- Thermometers
- Laptops for kids staying home from school and women in our ACCESS program
This being said, we are still accepting items such as:
- Vouchers from retail stores such as Westfield, Myer, Kmart, Target and Big W
- Topped up Opal Cards
- Household goods such as kettles, microwaves, cutlery and crockery. *Please note we only accept new electrical items
- New sheets and bedding
- Supermarket vouchers for places such as Woolworths and Coles
- Baby nappies (10-15kg and 13-18kg)
- Baby clothes in size 0 and 1 for both girls and boys. Please note* we will only accept baby clothes in new to good condition
While physical donations are greatly appreciated, we also ask for financial donations. By giving money to WAGEC you would be contributing to:
- Helping create safe spaces for women and children
- Supporting women on their journeys toward financial independence
- Benefitting our programs for kids that enable them to thrive
- And; Nurturing women in their recovery from trauma
