Addi Road Hampers of Hope

From 24th November to 5th December, the Amnesty Committee received donations of small food items and gifts under the ‘Giving Tree’ in the school office. These goods were collected to donate to Addi Road for their Hampers of Hope drive during the holiday season, aiming to alleviate pressures on the community during this time of year. 42% of Australians encountered negative effects of the cost of living on their Christmas experience in 2024, a number which will only grow this year as the cost to maintain quality of life increases. 

We received a vast array of products, including non-perishable foods, gourmet Christmas food items and games which were compiled into hampers and gifted to those in need. Last year, Addi Road assembled an impressive 2026 hampers, a standard we hope to maintain through Fort Street’s volume of donations this year. Overall, this endeavour was highly successful in distributing a great number of gifts amongst the community through the Addi Road organisation, which allowed students and their families to do their part in helping local families enjoy the season.
