OSA Term 3 Container Program

A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing St Mark’s students and wonderful parents from our school community who generously cooked meals for the Salvation Army over the weekend of 14 and 15 September, 2024.

An impressive total of 280 delicious meals were prepared by students completing the Volunteer Section of their IGNITE Awards and parents contributing Parent Commitment Hours. These meals were dropped off and collected by the Salvation Army at the school on the following Monday.

Lee-Anne from the Salvation Army expressed her heartfelt gratitude, overwhelmed by the generosity of the St Mark’s community. The meals will be distributed to those in need through several vital programs:

• The Salvation Army’s Street to Home Program supports individuals transitioning from homelessness to secure accommodation, often their first home on their own.
• The Salvation Army’s Independent Community Living Program helps clients with mental health challenges as they move into their own accommodation.
• Safe Night Space for Women is a service run by Ruah Community Services.

A huge well done to all the students and parents who contributed to this effort, providing much-needed meals for individuals and families in need. Thank you for your incredible support!
