Fill a Truck- Inner City Homeless Help

Hi Everyone,

Both classes will be taking part in the 'Fill a Truck' shoe box appeal for the Inner City Homeless Help this winter. These shoe boxes will be distributed amongst homeless children and adults right across the country. You can contribute a fully filled shoe box or just one item, the choice is yours. Last year Sally's class made up 17 boxes between all the students in the class. The children truly enjoyed the experience and felt they were contributing something to society. This is a voluntary activity so you're not obliged to take part. There is more information available on the ICHH facebook page and sample videos of what to pack.

Items that may be included are:
a shoe box
toothbrush
toothpaste
underwear
socks
hats
scarves
gloves
vouchers
chocolate
non-perishable food
stationary
small toys
books
female sanitary products

Please do not include:
aerosols
perfume
aftershave
mouth wash
hand sanitizers 

The closing date is the 12th of December.

Thanks,

Sarah and Sally
