Support Dignity Through Essential Items
The Essentials Collective supports people doing it tough across Perth by supplying toiletries and hygiene essentials through local relief organisations. If you’d like to support their work, they’re especially in need of items like shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, body wash, and sanitary products.

Please consider popping a few extra items in your shopping trolley and dropping them in our collection box each Sunday for the month of June.

Most Needed Items

Operation Sunshine WA provides Sunshine Packs to children and young people aged 0–17 years entering Child Protection services, out-of-home care organisations, and crisis accommodation services across Western Australia.

When a child is removed from their home and enters care, they often arrive with very few personal belongings. Sunshine Packs provide practical essentials, comfort items and age-appropriate gifts to help them feel valued, cared for and safe during a difficult transition.
