It is that time of year again when we ask all our school community to give what they can to support the Redemptorist Food hamper appeal, formerly famous as the Fr. Daly Food appeal.

Each year, the school is a huge contributor. The food collected goes directly to local families struggling and makes the difference of eating or not this Christmas. This year especially is tough, with prices increasing by 15% and demand increasing by 20%. Many thanks to all of the Religion teachers especially Ms. McNulty and Ms, Hurley, that drive this appeal but also to everyone who contributes. Every little bit helps. Donations of the required food (see below) can be taken until the 16th of December or to donate online through EasyPay on main school website page on the right hand side.

JTBCS collects:

• Teabags/Coffee
• Jam/Marmalade
• Tin/packet of soup
• Tin of vegetables
• Jelly/Tin of fruit
• Selection Box
• Small box chocolates/biscuits
