GIVIT seeks size 2 kid’s clothes
GIVIT is calling on people across the Capital Region to donate size two baby clothes to assist a young mother who has recently had her child returned to her care. This mother has worked extremely hard to be reunited with her baby boy after escaping domestic violence and experiencing mental illness. She is being assisted by a community organisation who are providing her with the support she needs to raise her child in a healthy and loving environment. They would benefit from the donation of high-quality size two boy’s clothes in a mix of styles and uses including pyjamas, winter clothing and swimwear. Generous Canberrans can donate these items or fund the purchase of clothes in increments of $10. 100% of money donated will be used to purchase this clothing. To find out how you can help please visit: givit.org.au/whats-needed, Search Category: keyword ‘mixed clothes – boy’, Location: ‘ACT’. GIVIT supports more than 400 charities and community groups across the Capital Region by matching your items with people who need them most.
