However, for many people in our community, this season can be a time of uncertainty and hardship. With the rising cost of living and housing pressures, an increasing number of people in Sydney are at risk of homelessness and struggling to meet their basic needs.<\/p>\n<p>We invite anyone who is able to contribute to this important cause. Your generosity will help provide much-needed resources, including hamper food items, toiletries and essential items, while also offering hope and dignity to those doing it tough this Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Collections for the <strong>Vinnies Christmas Appeal<\/strong> will be on from <strong>now until Friday 4 December (Week 8)<\/strong>. Please bring in your items to your Homeroom to be collected by the Vinnies team.<\/p>\n<p>Every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference in the life of someone in need.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your generosity, compassion and support of this worthy cause. Together, we can help make Christmas a little brighter for those who need it most.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Items to bring in<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Juices, long life milk, Coffee, Teabags, Milo, Sugar and Vegemite<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year 8<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Pasta sauce, tinned fruit and vegetables, tinned tuna, tinned soup, chicken or beef noodle cups<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year 9<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Breakfast cereals, pasta, Jatz biscuits or crackers, rice, grains,\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Shampoo, conditioner, soap body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes or deodorant.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Soap\/body wash, toothbrushes, toiletry bags, razors, socks, drink bottles<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Year 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Soap\/body wash, toothbrushes, toiletry bags, razors, socks, drink bottles<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vinnies Group MCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Vinnies Group MCE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-7063","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/7063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
