Community Donations
The City is committed to fostering connection, inclusion, and wellbeing in our community.
We partner with local charities and organisations to run a range of donation initiatives to help those in need. This includes seasonal and ongoing programs to support different communities, including those experiencing food insecurity and financial pressure.
You can make a difference in your community through a simple act of giving. Making a donation may not feel like a big gesture, but it can go a long way in supporting someone in need.
See below for how you can get involved today.
Share the Dignity - It's in the Bag
1 - 31 October, Manning and South Perth libraries
We're collecting bags with essentials like toiletries and period products to support women and girls experiencing homelessness, domestic violence or hardship this October.
To take part in the It's in the Bag campaign, you can fill a new or pre-loved handbag, backpack or tote bag with items designed for adults, teens or mums and bubs. We recommend choosing a type of bag and filling it with suitable items - here are some examples:
- Adults: Period products, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush
- Teens: Deodorant, period products for small bodies, hair ties, clips
- Mums and bubs: Nappies, breast pads, maternity period products
See Share the Dignity for full details. Contents must be new and in original packaging. Donations dropped off at the libraries in October will be taken directly to a Share the Dignity collection point in November.
