Food For Families 2018 Appeal

 

ASKING FOR YOUR  HELP PLEASE

Thank you to all families who have already donated to our 12th year of participating in the Uniting  Food For Families Appeal. 

Murrumbeena Primary School has been noted as being big supporters of this appeal.

Let’s see if we can fill the donation boxes that are in your child’s classroom and in the foyer of the school before the boxes are picked up on Tuesday 11  December.  

Take a look in your pantry for any ‘in date’ non-perishable foods that you would like to donate to this year’s Food For Families Appeal.  It is a great way of cleaning out your pantry at the same time as helping others.

**Please note – nothing that has expired or is out of date please.

Next time you are doing your grocery shop, you might want to pop a few extra toiletries into the basket.  Take the kids along and get them to help with locating things to donate to show just how much we look after our wider community too.
