"When women flee – they generally don’t stop to make sure they have the children’s lunchboxes.”
After the recent campaign to raise awareness about the importance of developing healthy relationships and the social impacts created by domestic violence, the Living Justice Group followed the campaign by launching a very deserving cause.
The aim was to gain support from the College community by encouraging families to donate new lunchboxes for children in crisis shelters.
The lunchboxes included, snacks, affirmation cards, sensory toys, friendship bracelets, beeswax wraps made by Kildare students and more.
We had the privilege of welcoming Ortal, a representative from the Vinnies Crisis Centre, who met with the Living Justice Group to receive the many donations. She shared with the students that often, children in shelters look forward to just getting back to a normal routine, and the lunchboxes will certainly help them.
