Constable Jeannette O’Reilly showing support to women in need.
Cannon Hill Police are helping to ‘Share the Dignity’ by providing support for this charitable campaign.
Due to homelessness, poverty or escaping domestic violence, women in crisis are forced to use makeshift toiletries or nothing at all.
There are over 100,000 women who will urgently need help this August.
Throughout the month of August, the Cannon Hill Kmart Plaza is collecting sanitary and toiletry items for our most vulnerable women.
The items get placed into a donated handbag and distributed through Police when they find people in need.
The collection point is outside of the Coles Supermarket at Cannon Hill Kmart Plaza.
Let’s join together as a community and ‘Share the Dignity’.
