This festive season, our partnership with Lutheran Care's Christmas Hamper Appeal continues with the '12 Days of Giving'.

From Monday 20 November through to Friday 1 December, Concordia families are asked to donate as they are able from the following list of 12 much-needed grocery items at this time of year:

• Day 1: Cans of tinned fruit
• Day 2: Instant noodles
• Day 3: Packs of pasta
• Day 4: Pasta sauce
• Day 5: Cans of protein
• Day 6: Hot drink items
• Day 7: Boxes of cereal
• Day 8: Cans of spaghetti and baked beans
• Day 9: Hygiene products
• Day 10: Sweet treats
• Day 11: Spreads
• Day 12: Long life milk

Download a poster as a reminder for your fridge or to use as a shopping list.

Donated items can be brought to Home Classrooms on any school day during Weeks 6 and 7 (20 November to 1 December).

We look forward to being able to support Lutheran Care in this way and we ask you to join us as we spread the joy of giving and helping others at Christmas time.

May God bless you and your family throughout this Christmas season.
