Diginity Bags: Recently Canowindra Con­nections Centre and Canowindra Country Womens Association Branch worked to­gether to put together Dignity Bags that were then donated to Canowindra Hospital to be given to patients when they are admit­ted to ensure they have essential items for their stay, particularly unexpected hospital visits. CWA President Cathy Smith said, “We have put these bags together for peo­ple who arrive at hospital with no posses­sions. The bags contain soap, shampoo, toothbrush and paste, brush or comb and a pair of undies. The bags are reusable and made by members of the CWA and both or­ganisations have contributed to the items.”
