Dear Parents/Guardians,

Each year students provide pantry food items or monetary donations that are used towards making hampers. These are then delivered to families in our Padua community, who throughout the year, may have experienced or are experiencing grief and loss, disability, illness, financial or other such difficulties or crises.

The Christmas Season can be a particularly challenging time for such families and as it is fast approaching, we are reaching out to the whole College to assist with providing hamper donations in support of them in our Padua community.

We are asking our Years 10, 11 & 12 students, staff, and other members of our community to provide a monetary donation between $5 - $100 via this Trybooking link https://www.trybooking.com/111... to support the purchase of items and vouchers/gift cards to add to our Christmas Hampers.

Our Junior students (Years 7-9) are being asked to provide food items and to decorate their Homeroom hampers and if these families would also like to provide a monetary donation, then this too would be greatly appreciated.

Please note that Padua College is not a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) and unfortunately, donations cannot be claimed as a tax deduction.

Thank you for your giving, which helps our Padua families who receive a Christmas hamper, know they are being thought of and supported during this Advent and Christmas Season.
