2023 Christmas Appeal for St Vinnies
Christmas is less than a month away, and as a Thomas Carr College community we rally to support those in need by running a Christmas Appeal that will support Vinnies at Hoppers Crossing North. Christmas a celebration of Jesus’ birth, and a time to make Christmas wishes and gift-giving. Over the last year, the cost-of-living crisis has become increasingly dire as prices continue to soar and inflation is at some of the highest levels. It's hitting families and other vulnerable members of our community incredibly hard. Many are experiencing poverty and struggling to keep a roof over their heads. As the crisis deepens, so does their desperation. More and more people are so desperate to survive, they just don’t have the resources to think about the next meal let alone Christmas. How can they begin to dream of buying the little extras that make Christmas so special when they can’t even afford to pay the bills? Together we can donate and make Christmas wishes come true.

Fire Station for Mamre Cadet Rural Fire Brigade
Mamre Cadet Rural Fire Brigade is an activity of Mamre Anglican School at Kemps Creek and the NSW Rural Fire Service. The Brigade has 40 Cadets aged 12 to 16 and eight adult members. The Brigade’s equipment has been stored in a small lawn locker at the school. The RFS has issued us with a fire tanker that is garaged off site and is used by the Cadets at the school. In May 2022, Mamre Anglican School commenced construction of a “fire station” at the school to house our fire tanker, other equipment and to provide an indoor training and meeting area. The building is a 6m x 10m Colorbond shed. The total cost of the project is approximately $60,000. The school has contributed $30,000 toward the project and the remaining $30,000 is being sought from donations. The concrete slab has been constructed and the materials have been ordered. Once we have reached our fundraising goal we will be able to construct the building and do the internal fit out. All donations are to the Mamre Anglican School

Support a ROTARY CLUB FOOD PROJECT feeding thousands
Rotarians across District 9370, North West University, CFAM (Centre for Advanced Manufacturing), and Potch-Tlokwe Business Chamber in South Africa invented a cost efficient feeding scheme (FOOD ATM) just after the country was locked down due to the COVID crisis. A nutritious pre-cooked porridge was quickly developed (just add 200 ml of water to 50 grams of porridge) at a cost of 10 Australian cents ! The meal and consists of maize, skimmed milk, sugar, salt, vitamins and minerals and has a shelf life of between 3 to 6 months. Your donation can make a huge difference to the vulnerable children and adults in our many communities throughout South Africa.
