Junction 142

Christmas Hamper Drive for Junction 142

Junction 142, in Katoomba, is a community charity hub which helps those less fortunate in our local community. It also has Blue Mountains Food Rescue which operates by preparing meals and serving them or distributing them to people in need by offering the Open Table brunch throughout the week. 

Another component of the hub is providing a place for people in need to shower, do their laundry and for temporary accommodation. 

Over the last few years, Blue Mountains Grammar School has taken pride in providing food, clothing and other donations via our Christmas Hampers to Junction 142. We will be doing so again this year but we need your help!

How can you help?  Each Tutor group will receive a basket to fill with non-perishable food, clothes, toys/games or toiletry products. Each Year group will have a different age bracket for products to bring in as well as a suggested list of items.

Years 7 and 8:  Young Children’s Christmas Hamper

Year 9:  Teenagers Christmas Hamper

Year 10:  Female Christmas Hamper

Year 12:  Male Christmas Hamper

We ask that all the items you bring are brand new and not opened. Long life food are better instead of food that need refrigeration or have a short shelf life. We ask you bring this into your Tutor groups and fill up your basket as much as you can. Christmas-themed products are also welcomed, e.g. Bon Bons

We will be collecting the baskets of donations on the morning of 22nd November during Tutor Time. Each Tutor group is to bring them down to the Art & Design Foyer, so please don’t leave it to the last minute!

Thank you again for all your support for these two wonderful charities throughout the year, and our thanks in advance for your contribution to the Junction 142 Christmas Hamper over the next few weeks.
