Wahroonga Adventist School (Sydney, NSW) has helped to make Christmas a little brighter for those who are struggling to make ends meet.
In the lead-up to Christmas, the school organised a food drive and assembled 148 hampers. The hampers were donated to Fusion Sydney North, an organisation that supports youth and disadvantaged members of the community.
The project was a collaborative effort involving the Home and School Committee, the Student Representative Council and Year 10 Invictus students fulfilling their service requirement. Additionally, the Sydney Adventist Hospital and the South Pacific Division office collected food items for the hampers. Coles supermarkets pitched in by providing the shopping bags for packaging.
“This was a practical example of service for our students and a real-life experience of what it means to provide comfort and resources to those in our community who have need,” a school spokeswoman said.
“It is the first time that so many groups from our local community have joined together to work towards a common cause.”
