There are UFS dispensaries from Gisborne to Ballan through Ballarat and over to Beaufort that offer Share the Dignity the opportunity to increase its reach.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur staff are tuned into dealing with dignity health needs and have been for years, it\u2019s just part of how we operate,\u201d Ms McLennan said.<\/p>\n
The national collaboration with Woolworths commenced in March when the supermarket chain committed to donate five cents from every packet of pads and tampons sold in each of their 995 stores across Australia.<\/p>\n
The relationship between Woolworths and the charity has been invaluable, Rochelle Courtenay, founder of Share the Dignity said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving a collection point in all of their supermarkets this month will make it even easier for shoppers to play their role in helping thousands of Australian women and girls in need,\u201d Ms Courtenay said.<\/p>\n
Ms Whimpenny checks in with the local charities and welfare agencies during July to ascertain how many items they will need for distribution until the next campaign in April.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our goal to make sure they always have on hand what they need,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the assistance of UFS and Woolworths and our other supporters we hope to achieve the goal this month.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
