CASH for CANS

 

Once again we are collecting Cash for Cans so that we can donate food hampers to the Moore Street Centre in time for Christmas. David Rowe has spoken to Louise at the Centre and the foods that they would most welcome include: tinned meats and fruit, Christmas puddings and cakes, pasta and rice, biscuits, jam and honey, nuts and dried fruit, long-life milk, and tinned vegetables. 

 

I will speak to Theo at the IGA on Hutt Street to see if he can help us with these items. Of course, if you have any leftover Christmas puddings or cakes from last year that you do not think you will eat, you could also donate those. 

 

So if you have not yet given me your $20 (or more) to help us purchase these goodies, please come prepared with your money, which I will happily receive, in the next couple of weeks.

 

David also said that they would greatly appreciate toys, games, puzzles, beach bags, pencils and books. If you would like to donate any of these items, I would also gratefully collect them from you. (I went out this afternoon and got some books and pencils.) If any of you regularly get the Advertiser, you might also consider collecting the 4 tokens that you need to purchase a children’s Christmas Showbag for $8, which is full of crafty books and pencils, etc, and also donate this to the Moore Street Centre. (I intend to do this.)

 

Thank you for your support.

 

David also reported that the Centre is very grateful for our continuing bread project, so well done and thank you to all those who help out each week collecting and delivering bread.
