Donate comfort packs
The comfort packs help to restore the dignity of victims following unimaginable trauma. The packs consist of but are not limited to:
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Facecloth
- Soap
- A refreshment/snack
- Sanitary pads
- Body lotion
Clothing
We are happy to take clothing – old or new – for distribution within the community. Due to the nature of our work, we are always aware of a family, child or individual in need. With clothing donations, we are also able to provide victims who seek help with clean items to wear when they arrive at the shelter. Many of those who come to us for help, often have very little to their names. This is especially the case with expecting mothers, who often do not have anything to clothe or take care of their newborn babies. We are also appealing for donations of baby items such as:
- Creams
- Formula
- Nappies
- Clothing
Non-perishables
These items are critical for the running of the Green Door shelter. Victims cannot heal or process their trauma if they are without basic needs like something to eat. We use these items for when victims stay overnight at the shelter or for an extended period of time. We also try to provide victims with food packs in the situation where they are unable to survive on their own, especially when seeking justice against their abusers, who they may be financially dependant on. Items needed:
- Maize meal, rice, soup, noodles
- Tinned foods like beans, sardines,
- bull beef
- Juice, cereal, porridge
- Milk, tea & coffee
- Baby formula, baby food such as Purity
Additional assistance
We desperately need a car to transport victims to the police station, social workers, clinic, court, deliver food parcels and to attend meetings.
We also need a laptop, a printer for admin and to run our shelter and an inverter or solar for electricity during power outages.
Kitchen items (pots, dishes, spoons, knives, glasses, stove, microwave etc.)
Bedroom items (beds, blankets, chairs, pillows etc.)
We need financial support to help us to build a long-term shelter for survivors.
