Collecting food items

Wallaby St Preschool is collecting food items for its Christmas in July food drive for Mary Macs Place, Woy Woy.

Wallaby St Preschool centre manager Ms Danielle Leete said: "We felt it was important to model empathy at our service for the children to realise that they are part of a community and that it is a great thing to help families in need.

"We have wonderful parents here at Wallaby street and they are very generous so we have collected over 100 food items but we still have a week to go so we are aiming for 200 food items.

"We are going to make a big hamper and Mary Macs can use the items as they wish.

"We have also collected some lovely soap and towels so we might brighten up someone's day," she said.
