In support of raising awareness of homelessness, during Homelessness Week, 16 primary schools from the Central Highlands participated in a Free Dress Day and each child donated a can of food for a local community charity.
Homelessness Information was provided to the schools for inclusion the school's newsletters and for discussion in
class, and resource books Charlie’s Storey and Uncle Willie and the Soup Kitchen were provided for the library.
The event proved to be a huge success with many cans donated and gratefully
accepted at local charities, including the soup kitchen, food bank and local
emergency relief facilities. A BIG THANK YOU to all the wonderful students who
participated, your kindness is making a difference for someone who needs help.
This event will be held again next year, and if your school would like to
participate please contact us at: michelle.twigger@vt.uniting.org
