Too Many Kids Without Breakfast – FINAL WEEK!  

Next week, Year 7 will be visiting Oz Harvest to better understand how they help with Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World). To say thanks and express our support, we have been running a dry food collection down at Waxman gate during Weeks 5-8. Thanks to those who have already dropped off some goodies!

This is our final week!

If you want to check out what Oz Harvest is up to:  www.ozharvest.org/

What should you bring?

Oz Harvest has told us that a main focus for us could be to help children who often do not get breakfast or a decent lunch. They suggested:

  • Breakfast: Milo and milk mixes are very popular, cereals, jams and spreads (vegemite and honey), biscuits like SAOs
  • Lunch: Two minute noodles are top of the list, tinned meals (spaghetti, beans), anything that can quickly be heated that is non-perishable.

Other items gratefully accepted are:

  • Pasta, rice, whole grain cereal
  • Canned vegetables (ring pull)
  • Canned fruit (ring pull)
  • Canned protein foods like tuna, salmon, chicken, beef stews – (ring pull)
  • Biscuits (sweet and savoury)
  • Long life juice/poppers

  • Dried fruits

  • Tea/coffee

We appreciate it very much – as will they!

There will be boxes for your lovely donations on Waxman Drive by the main gate until Monday next week!

Thank you and Shabbat Shalom
