The initiative, run by Australian not-for-profit organisation, Share the Dignity, which has been providing homeless and at risk women with sanitary products since early 2015.
Lauren Pye, Branch Manager of Commonwealth Bank Wauchope, said they were thrilled to be supporting Share the Dignity and their 2019 April Dignity Drive.
"Share the Dignity provides an opportunity to make life better for a woman or girl experiencing homelessness or poverty in our local community," she said.
Wauchope is just one of many Commonwealth Branches in the Mid North Coast who are also supporting the initiative. The team are hoping to collect 100 unopened packets of sanitary items during the campaign to donate to those in need.
If you'd like to donate, it's simple. Next time you're doing your shopping, keep in mind: one box for me, one box for her, then simply drop off your donation at your nearest Commonwealth Bank branch or local collection point.
