Warkworth drop off point for I Got Your Back Pack

Jackie from Warkworth

When people escape from unsafe situations, where domestic abuse threatens to harm children, women or men they often have little more than the clothing on their backs.
The Debtfix Crew often hears about the financial fallout for these vulnerable people and now, they are doing their bit, and calling on the community to support I Got Your Back Pack.
The charity collects essential items that are given to people to help them through the crisis, with a focus on giving a bit of normality and kindness during a moment of upheaval.

Back packs full of things such as, toiletries, healthy snacks, and toys or activity books for children are distributed nationwide to organisations supporting survivors of domestic violence.

Debtfix wants people to donate new items and drop them off at their Warkworth office.

“During August we are having a big push, asking our community to bring in new things like toothpaste, shampoo, children’s books, nappies, deodorant for men or women,” says Christine Liggins, co-founder of Debtfix.

“We will get everything to I Got Your Back Pack and they will make the day for those people who need some kindness and respect.”

People can find more ideas about items required at the charity’s website, but most importantly – items must be new and where appropriate, sealed.

Donations can be delivered during office hours to Debtfix, Unit F/11 Neville Street, Warkworth.
