- Toiletries: Deodorant, hand sanitiser, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash, body creams, etc.
- Feminine hygiene items
- Clothing: Waterproof jackets, sturdy shoes, etc.
- NEW Blankets
- NEW Socks and underwear
- Non-perishables: Beans, soup, pasta, rice, etc.
The Donation Station is located within St. George’s Shopping Centre, accepting donations during regular business hours from this month.
We are thrilled to bring back the Donation Station and support Firm Foundation, a charity that does incredible work for the homeless in our community,” said the Centre Manager of St. George’s Shopping Centre. “We believe in the power of community and hope everyone will join us in making a difference, even a small donation can make a difference”
The Support Relationship Manager at Firm Foundation said, “Thank you to the St. George’s team and the community of Harrow for your kindness and generosity in helping in our quest to end Single Homelessness in Harrow. All donations contribute towards making someone’s day better; it’s amazing the difference a shower and a hot meal makes.”
