TCC GIVING TREE ASSEMBLY
This Friday is the TCC Giving Tree Assembly which is an opportunity for our whole College community to come together in a spirit of compassion to share with families in need at Christmas Time. In partnership with St Vincent De Paul Society we help fill hampers to make everyone's Christmas Day lunch special. The joy, and gratitude is immense when families receive this kindness at Christmas.
Students are invited to bring the following:
Cash or Vouchers, Tinned Vegetables (Beetroot, Peas, Corn, Carrots) Desserts (Christmas Puddings, Long life Custard, Tinned Fruit, Jellies, Christmas Cake), Softdrink, Cordials, Ham/Meat Vouchers, Tinned Meat and Fish, Snacks (Chips, nuts, pretzels, popcorn, savoury or sweet biscuits, lollies). St Vinnies requests NO CHOCOLATE or CHOCOLATE BISCUITS as these melt and spoil in the heat.
Thank you for your generosity in spreading Christmas cheer!
