A Little Ray Of Giving

This Christmas you can make a difference to less fortunate families in our community by delivering a gift to the Giving Tree, which is located in our school office.

A Little Ray Of Giving is proudly run by Ray White Tugun | Elanora and this year the gifts will be donated to the Gold Coast Community Christmas Lunch initiative which has been running for 11 years, putting on a Christmas lunch for locals in need and providing presents for children who may not otherwise receive anything at Christmas time. There are 700 people expected for this year's event many of whom will be children & families seeking refuge at domestic violence shelters.

Items that can be donated include:

- Kmart has a great range of economical gifts for smaller children - board games, dolls, lego, puzzles, colouring books, balls, play-doh etc

- Teens are the most difficult to buy for and therefore miss out the most. Movie vouchers, thongs, socks are all fabulous gifts for them

- Vouchers are perfect for families and the Mums at the Domestic Violence refuges (Woolworths, Coles)

- Pamper packs or body products that we can group together are great for female teens and women

- No guns or war toys please

Please show your support and donate following the 4 easy steps in the picture.
