Hope in a Suitcase Taree needs your help!
We are currently working on a request for the Taree area, and we are in desperate need of donations. Hope in a Suitcase is a non-profit organisation run entirely by passionate and dedicated volunteers and through donations of new items from the community, and the generosity of groups and corporations. We provide suitcases for children going into foster care or out-of-home care so they can have something to call their own. To send them a message that they are important and cared for by our community. To encourage self-care by providing new essential items such as a toothbrush, toiletries, hairbrush, underwear and sanitary items for the older girls. A pair of pyjamas and a change of clothes. A teddy to cuddle. A journal or colouring in book and pencils to encourage creativity, and a toy to provide a distraction away from their turmoil.
We are reaching out for donations to help support these children in our community who are going through a really rough and challenging time.
If you are able to help out in any way and donate one of the items listed it would be very appreciated. For more details on items needed please see our website https://www.hiasc.org.au/donation-items/
You can donate new items by dropping them into our generous drop off points during their business hours.

Thank you so much for helping the children in our community to show them they are not alone and we care.
** PLEASE NOTE: ALL ITEMS MUST BE NEW - these worthy children deserve to have something special and many have never had anything new.
