This now brings the total to more than 40 Flight Centre locations currently hosting drop-off bins as well as over 100 over locations throughout Australia.
Members of the public have been invited to drop off their unused hotel toiletries and airline amenity kits into the little red bin so that they can be used to make care packs for homeless people.
Domestic violence is the single biggest cause of homelessness in Australia.
Founder CEO Katryna Robinson said she was excited to be established in Bowral, and thanked Pauline and the team at Flight Centre.
"Having spent six years living in Mittagong, it is lovely on a personal level to see Every Little Bit Helps established in the community," Mrs Robinson said.
"I encourage you, as a community, to do what you can to help those less fortunate. One simple act of kindness can change the outcomes for so many, and as we have come to learn, something as simple as a bar of soap and a toothbrush is sadly something not everyone can count on."
Every Little Bit Helps was established in June 2015. At the time Mrs Robinson's husband was travelling extensively for work and kept coming home with hotel toiletries and airline amenity kits just in case someone came to stay.
At the same time Katryna was working in the Sydney CBD and would easily see 20 rough sleepers on her short walk to work.
One day Katryna took that basket of toiletries and met with the homeless community sleeping under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
She asked them if they had regular access to personal hygiene products and the they said "sometimes".
Every Little Bit Helps believes every Australian should have access to a toothbrush and a bar of soap.
Every Little Bit Helps receives donated sample sized hotel toiletries, airline amenity kits, as well as make-up and cosmetic samples and sanitary items and through corporate volunteering and public packing day they have created more than 49,000 care packs for the homeless.
