New Day Box for Women Suffering from Domestic Violence

One of our bloggers alerted us to the New Day Box initiative to supply shoe boxes of beauty products for women suffering from domestic violence as Christmas gifts. I am sorry but I cannot remember who it was. I know that several BH members were keen to contribute and I did as well.

I contacted the company to find out whether they reached their goal of 500 boxes and received a response to say they received over 2000! Overwhelming for everyone.

There will be a meeting to discuss further initiatives and if you want to find out more, you can register for updates at http://www.newdaybox.org

I have done so and you may like to as well.

    I just saw that there is a New Day Box drive in Melbourne on the 16 November 2017. 6pm – 8.30pm at Envato. Tickets are free, includes speakers from New Day and Safe Steps.

    Tickets and more information can be found at https://www.stickytickets.com.au/59907/new_day_box_drive.aspx

    Just bring a shoebox and one essential item to pack in your box.

    I am bumping this thread for BH members that are not aware of a fantastic project called New Day Box. They collect boxes of new beauty products – to be handed out at the end of each year – for women that have escaped a domestic violence situation. Here is their website and Facebook page:

    If you scroll down the page, you will see the collection points and dates in Melbourne. If you live interstate, you can post your box/es of beauty goodies.

    I am bumping this thread about a wonderful charitable cause called NEW DAY BOX. Just before Christmas each year, the charity collects boxes of new beauty products for women that have escaped domestic violence. Here is their website and Facebook page:

    Their last collection date in Melbourne is Sunday, 4 December. If you live interstate like me, you can post them your box or boxes of beauty goodies!

    For anyone that lives in Sydney but doesn’t want to post beauty goodies to Melbourne, you may wish to donate products to another wonderful charity called THE BEAUTY BANK. They collect products throughout the year:

    We have collection boxes at work for donations of beauty products, toiletries, clothing for domestic violence prevention week and white ribbon day. It started earlier in the week but I need to check how long it goes for as I’m planning on donating quite a few things.

    This is a gentle reminder about the deadline for this year’s New Day Box project. Volunteers are collecting beauty products for women that have escaped a domestic violence situation. Collection days in Melbourne start this Saturday. Alternatively, you can post them your beauty goodies:

    Thanks for the reminder! I did this last year and have been collecting bits and pieces during the year to make up boxes again this year. Will start getting them in order to send off next month. 🙂

    There is an awesome initiative that was started two years ago called New Day Box. Volunteers collect shoe boxes of new beauty products for women that have escaped domestic violence. They do this just before Christmas. When women leave a violent situation and enter a shelter, they often leave with nothing but the clothes that they’re wearing. I have been told by someone that went into a shelter that all that she was given were the basics such as a comb and a bar of soap.

    I have been checking their website, waiting to see when their new collection days are in Melbourne. They have scheduled their collection dates from 14 to 28 November. If you live interstate, you can post boxes of products to them. Here is a link to their website and Facebook page:

    I have sent beauty boxes in previous years, and I’ve been buying products in anticipation for this year’s project. The New Day Box initiative is such a beautiful cause.

    Here is a Facebook page update on the New Day Box project. They collected over 1,200 boxes for women that have escaped domestic violence. Awesome!

    That’s brilliant!

    I’m already saving shoe boxes for next year 🙂

    I just had a look at the Facebook page for the New Day Box initiative. I was so excited to see all the boxes of beauty products that they collected over the last couple of days (current tally is 360 boxes). For anyone interested, here is the link:

    Seeing such generosity puts a huge smile on my face!
