After lots of discussion the JSC have decided to run a food drive for Refugees and Asylum Seekers.

The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre or ASRC supports people seeking asylum and refugees to access culturally appropriate food and essential items. They also provide basic toiletries and cleaning products for people in need.

The ASRC foodbanks support around 1,200 people each month and 40% of them are children.

The JSC would like to collect nonperishable foods like rice, lentils, coconut milk, tuna, oil and spices. Even cleaning products such as dishwashing and laundry liquids and basic toiletries would be a great help. See the list of urgently needed items below.

We are holding the food drive on Thursday 19th September, the same day as our Footy Day. 

Look out for posters around the school advertising this special day.

If you are unable to bring along any food on the day we will also be accepting gold coin donations and the JSC will then buy the food online.

Thank you to the wonderful CEPS community for supporting this very worthy cause.
