We are calling on our SPC community and local businesses to support our SPC Care program by donating items for student hygiene packs. These packs assist students who may not have access to essential personal care items at home.
We are currently seeking brand-new items such as anti-perspirant spray deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, wipes and combs.
