Parish Christmas Hamper Appeal - Out of Uniform Day
We invite you to embrace the real spirit of Christmas, the spirit of giving to others. Next Friday 1st November, students are invited to come ‘out of uniform’ in exchange for a non-perishable grocery item. Through your generosity over the years we have been able to supply hampers to those in need in our Parish whether it be to ease the financial burden which Christmas brings to some or to let those experiencing grief or in need of personal support know that we as a Parish care for them.
Some suggested hamper items are Christmas cake, biscuits (sweet and/or savoury), tinned ham, chips, pavlova shell, noodles, soft drinks, long life juice, pudding, long life custard, lollies, chocolates, spaghetti, beetroot, placemats, candles, cordial, tin fruit, cereals, rice, jam, marmalade, tea, coffee, salmon, asparagus, fruit mince pies, general groceries, a gift for a member of one of the families, vouchers for meat/veggies/CD's (please don't include cash or alcohol).
Your support is most appreciated.
