Big Group Hug

 I received a large amount of anonymous donations and much of it was new clothing which had recently been requested by Big Group Hug, an organisation based I Bundoora,  which helps disadvantaged children. 

Pam Neenan had an almost new pram to donate and she very kindly delivered our donations as well. We also sent a barely used pram donated by Norma Aitken. 

We also sent 4 quilts,  45 knitted beanies,  19 tote bags, 9 knitted/crocheted blankets,  15 drawstring bags,  34 soap pouches,  3 pencil cases with pencils, 5 packs of nappies, 4 boxes of clothing  (mostly new), scarves, face washers and toiletries. 

Pam's help with delivery to Bundoora saved me a few hours and is much appreciated as it also meant we could get donations distributed promptly. 

Another large anonymous donation of new hand knits has just arrived so more sorting and packing awaits and cold weather will soon be here so the hand knits will,be needed by groups helping disadvantaged families as well as people displaced by the floods.

Many thanks for your support everyone. 

Hugs, Jan Mac xx
