Dear Parent/Guardian,

I hope this letter finds you well. As you may be already aware, we are celebrating ‘Kindness’ as a wellbeing
theme for the month of December. To mark this theme, we have a number of activities ongoing throughout the
month which I would like to outline to you;

1. Food Drive – we are asking those who can, to donate dry store cupboard foods, treats or toiletries. We
will donate all collections to the Curragh family resource Centre and they will be given to those in need
in our community.
2. Clothes Drive – we have partnered with ClothesPod and are looking for donations of unwanted clothing.
Some information ClothesPod is below:

jumpers in and donate e2 or maximum e5 per household to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin.
