Christmas Food Drive
Exodus 1:13-14, And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
This is the basis of the Exodus Foundation beliefs and morals, founded by Reverend Bill Crews, fighting to help people in difficult situations have food on their plate.
For the last 30 years MLC School has had a strong connection and partnership with the Exodus Foundation mainly based around feeding their appeals and meeting their requests for food donations or hampers. Because of the geographical location of the Exodus Foundation, MLC Schools partnership with them is convenient for both us and the foundation, further strengthening the partnership.
As part of our Year 7 Geography unit on improving liveability and community, we are participating in a food drive to collect supplies for those in need. To do this we are collaborating with the Exodus Foundation for their Christmas Food Drive. To make this food drive successful, we need donations from MLC School students. These can be left in the pod outside SCGO1.
We will be collecting food across Week 5 – Week 7 in boxes, please feel free to put in items such as canned goods, or meal prep. Some of the things that we would appreciate being given are, canned foods, 2-minute-noodles, microwaved rice, dried fruits, pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, chips, canned soup, bottled water, and foods for vegan, vegetarian and other dietary requirements.
Thanks in advance for all donations!
