Christmas Food Collection
Dear Parent/Carer,
Co-op Christmas Food Hamper
This year the Co-op community action group of Co-op Academy Walkden have organised a Christmas food drive. The aim is to collect as many canned food items as possible for local food banks and the less fortunate in the community area. This initiative allows us, as a community, to come together and show we care. We want to help our communities, because that’s what makes us different as an academy. We are asking for donations to help this amazing cause:
● Tin of soup;
● Stuffing mixture;
● Gravy granules;
Tinned vegetables;
● Tinned meats;
● Instant mash potato or tinned potatoes;
● Coffee, tea, hot chocolate or condensed milk;
● Condiments;
● 1 x gift. i.e - cuddly toy, crayons and colouring book, chocolate (please check the expiry date), Christmas crackers, reading books, magazines, teenager gifts (e.g. toiletry gift sets, socks, t-shirts, vouchers etc).
Any item or items that could be donated from the above list would be greatly appreciated. The final date for collection will be Monday 11th December. Donations can be left with me in the Global zone in the academy. Alternatively, students will be collecting items at personal development time from classrooms. We ask that parents/carers avoid donating any items such as refrigerated or frozen foods, foods containing nuts, alcohol and any electrical appliances.
We hope that you can help our community this Christmas and help spread some festive cheer.
Regards
