Tesch calls for donations of essential toiletries
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch is asking for donations of essential toiletries to be dropped off at her office to be distributed to women in need by "Woman Hood, the Pink Bin Initiative".
"Having easy access to essential toiletries such as toothpaste, shampoos, sanitary items, and deodorant is something that many may take for granted," she said.
"For some members of the community, however, these everyday items are considered luxuries that are too difficult to obtain.
"Community donations of toiletries make a big difference, and I encourage our wonderful community to show their support for women doing it tough by making generous donations of toiletries."
New and unopened toiletries that can be donated include: shampoo and conditioners, soaps, body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving creams, razors, hand and body moisturisers, sunblock, lip balm, sanitary products, face washers, towels, band aids, tote bags, toiletry bags, tissues, hair combs, hair brushes and hand sanitisers.
Ms Tesch's office at 20 Blackwall Rd Woy Woy is open between 9am and 5pm weekdays, closed for lunch between 12:30 and 1:30pm.
Since October, almost $80,000 in toiletries have been collected and delivered to local community groups by Woman Hood Central Coast.
