The community can now donate toiletry and clothing items to The Man’s Bag by visiting Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid’s office in West Gosford.
The Man’s Bag is a Central Coast based organisation supporting men experiencing homelessness or other difficulties.
Last Christmas, the organisation was able to provide 24 Man’s Bags to St Vincent de Paul Woy Woy, Mary Mac’s Place, and Coast Shelter.
Combined, the organisation has distributed over 200 bags across the region.
This year the aim is to support even more men, but they need the community’s help with donations of hygiene products and clothing items.
