Viewbank College
Lead Passion Projects
As part of our year 9 Lead passion project, students are working together to help the homeless and support a charity with organising a drive. This year we have 2 project teams that are asking for the community's help. Please see below the brief for the different projects.
Project 1
We are part of a Year 9 group working to support 300 Blankets, a charity that provides aid to those experiencing homelessness. We are seeking donations of decent-quality items that can be included in care packages. Pre owned clothes and blankets in good condition are accepted as well.
Our Goal: We aim to create care packages with essential items to support people experiencing homelessness in our community.
Thank you for your kindness and consideration. Together, we can make a positive impact!
We would greatly appreciate donations of the following items:
- Clothing (e.g. jackets, hats, gloves, scarves)
- Socks (new and unused)
- Blankets
- Sanitary Items (e.g. menstrual products, feminine hygiene wipes)
- Soap and Hygiene Products (e.g. toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, floss, toilet paper)
- Books (Educational ones would be great)
Donations can be dropped off at the school office beginning March 3rd and will be accepted until March 31st.
Sincerely,
Viewbank College Year 9s: Bonnie, Cassidy, Keira, Michelle, Nigella, Yuna
