Storing Women Prisoners Belongings

Women entering prison often require storage for their belongings while they serve their time.  Precious items belonging to these women, such as family photos or jewellery, may be stored because of the support of the Zonta Club of Melbourne

2001-2002

Carry Bags/Starter Packs

Don't know what to do with your old travel bags/sport bags/backpacks etc?  Have gift samples of toiletries, cleaning products etc?  Care to give a little dignity and aid to women exiting prison?

We accept donations so that women leaving prison have something a little more dignified than plastic garbage bags.
