This Christmas, The Salvation Army needs our help to bring cheer to those in need. The Junior School Council are asking for your help to fill Hampers of Hope with non-perishable food items to support families doing it tough this holiday season!

What to Bring

Each student is asked to bring at least one non-perishable food item. Please choose items with long expiry dates, and no fresh or frozen foods. Consider different dietary needs and, where possible, choose brand-name or special festive items to make Christmas a little brighter for someone else.
