P.A.T.H Appeal

Category : Blog

P.A.T.H are hoping to distribute care packages to the homeless this Christmas. These care packages are a zip lock bag filled with some of the items from the list below.

The care packages can consist of any of these items or other items you think are appropriate:

  • Bottle of water
  • Socks
  • Hat
  • Gloves
  • Scarf
  • Wipes
  • Packet of tissues
  • Deodorant
  • Hand sanitiser
  • Face masks
  • Tooth brush
  • Toothpaste
  • Chocolate
  • Sweets
  • Crisps
  • Notepad and paper
  • McDonalds vouchers are also a good option!
  • Travel size items are another good idea!

If you could please donate a zip lock bag of items or even 1 item from the list, we would very much appreciate it. Ms. Barry will then collect the bags from each classroom on Friday the 4th of December (we will be following covid guidelines, hence one collection on Friday the 4th and we will then sort the items the following week).

Thank you,

4th Class.
