A Williamstown man has collected more than 120 bags filled with essentials for women experiencing homelessness and family violence.
Tim Reynolds said his business was a collection point for Share the Dignity’s ‘It’s in the bag’ Christmas campaign.
Share the Dignity is a campaign that started last year after a call went out for sanitary items and other essentials.
Mr Reynolds said he was amazed by the community’s support.
“The whole campaign, which runs from November 19 until December 3, was to have people in the community donate bags, and inside the bag there are things that are essentials that women need,” he said.
“I’m the local pick-up point for Williamstown, and I’ve been absolutely blown away by the community’s response.
“I’m sitting on about 120 bags easily.”
The bags will be distributed to women’s refuges and drop-in centres for homeless women in time for Christmas.
