Creating relief hampers for drought and bushfire

Umina Beach Public School is creating relief hampers for the victims of the NSW drought and the bushfires and is seeking donations of food items and toiletries from the community.

"Umina Beach Public School will be collecting items to prepare hampers for the Mid-North coast area around Taree in association with the Coasties Drought Aid Group," said principal Ms Lyn Davis.

The school will accept non-perishable food items such as packet food, coffee, tea and long life milk and personal care and utility items such as batteries, torches, water in containers, items for babies and children, toiletries, antiseptic cream, saline, bandages, sunscreen, eye drops, baby wipes and towels for the hampers.

"Other items that would be useful would be debit cards, items for pets, first aid kits, laundry items and buckets.

"If cash donations are received, they will be converted to either debit cards or containers to hold the hampers.

"We will have containers in the front office waiting for generous donations," Ms Davis said.

The school will be accepting donations until November 29.
