The Salvation Army Winter Appeal
The following is a message from the Certificate II Community Services class:
"The Certificate II Community Services class will be running the Salvation Army Winter Appeal during term two.
The Salvation Army is in our neighbourhood (in Merriwa) so donations would go to local people who really need the help. Donations of blankets, sleeping bags and warm outdoor clothing may be sent to Northbridge, where people sleeping outside will be needing those things.
This flyer will show you the kinds of things that would be good to donate. This year there will be three places to bring donations: Student Services; the Library; and Home Ec. (in case the library is closed).
Thank you for your attention. We hope everyone at Clarkson Community High School will donate to the Salvation Army Winter Appeal.
Regards
Certificate II Community Services class, 2019"
