Hamper Drive

Posted by Happy - Dec 18, 2008

I'd like to share something with you today.
7 people moved just over 2 tonnes of vegetables and other produce from outside in the snow, down the stairs, into the gym. (not exaggerating)

And of course you may have figured out by now. This is the annual Hamper Drive.
I'm sure most of you know about this, but if you don't, I'll quickly run through what we do.
Over 600 volunteers come together to help build hampers that will last 2 weeks for over 300 families.

This year:
Just over 40,000 items collected
goal is 710 units

And really, if you're reading this blog, chances are you and your family aren't struggling each day in order to ensure a decent meal, and honestly that's something to be thankful about. You can help out by coming on either...

December 19, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
December 20, 7:00 am - 4:00 pm (7:00 - 8:00 is breakfast in McLean Hall)

Come for an hour, or come for the whole day. I'm sure any bit of help will be appreciated.
Cheers.

It was good fun again this year.

Just a shame so few people show up and donations dwindle each year.
