Donation drive to support Escabags charity
The Ettalong Diggers Foundation has announced its July Donation Drive in support of the Escabags charity.
The Australian charity provides free "Escape Bags" to individuals fleeing domestic and family abuse.
"Ettalong Diggers is now a registered stockist, making these life-saving resources more accessible to those in need within our community," said Diggers' community manager Ms Kim Cole.
"The Foundation is calling on members, guests, and the wider community to donate essential items throughout the month of July.
"Donation bins are now located in the foyer of Ettalong Diggers, where people are encouraged to contribute new and unopened items suitable for the Escape Bags."
Suitable items include travel-sized shampoo and conditioner, soap or shower gel, face cloths, toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, sanitary items, small first aid items, and notepads and pens.
"As a community-focused organisation, we believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone," she said.
"This drive is a way for our members and guests to actively contribute to helping survivors take their first step toward safety.
"Every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference."
For more information, phone Ms Cole on 4343 0140.
