Oamaru Foodbank 'Bring a can of food' Fundraiser

By Belinda Hirst | Posted: Thursday June 5, 2025

STARTING NEXT WEEK! This year, the Student Council has decided again to get involved with making a difference in our community. We believe that together we can make a difference for some families. From Monday 9 June to Thursday 12 June, we are collecting cans/non-perishable food to donate to the Oamaru Food Bank.

To participate, we are asking that students bring a can, or more, of NON-PERISHABLE food if they are able to, to help stock the Oamaru Food Bank. This contribution helps to make up food parcels for those who need food assistance. Help us do our part for our community.

As a THANK YOU to all students, there will be a Mufti Day on Friday 13 June. NO MONEY for the multi day - just a can (or more) of food or something non-perishable during the week.

There will be a prize for the class that brings the most food - this will be announced at the Assembly on Friday. The Student Council members will organise the cans each day.

Our goal is to collect more than 500 cans/non-perishable items.

Thank you in advance for your support.
