Food drive - one week left
We are 2 weeks into our PMPS Food Drive for the Father Bob Foundation. So far, it has been an amazing success! We had to call the volunteers at the Foundation and ask them to do a pick up of the four large tubs of food that we had collected so that it could be distributed straight away. They were very grateful and asked to pass on their thanks to all the families so far.
We'd love to keep the momentum up for this last week of the drive, so we can continue to donate to help this fabulous local organisation. The drive is open for canned food, breakfast cereal, rice, pasta, toiletries and pet food. Please drop any donations in to your child's classroom.
