This year, we're partnering with **Mornington Community Support Centre** to collect **non-perishable grocery items** for people experiencing financial and personal difficulties in the local areas of Mornington, Mt Martha, Mt Eliza, and Moorooduc.   [➡️ **Mornington Community Support Centre -** www.mcsc.au ](http://www.mcsc.au) #### *Why We Need Your Help* The Mornington Community Support Centre plays a vital role in providing material aid and support services to individuals and families who are struggling. They are powered by a dedicated team of volunteers and staff who work tirelessly to make sure that people facing hardship can access essential food and supplies, especially during the festive holidays. By donating, you’re not just giving a gift – you’re helping to make someone’s Christmas a little brighter. #### *How You Can Get Involved* This year, we’re inviting our entire All Health Training community – students, staff, and anyone else who’d like to pitch in – to contribute to our Giving Tree. We’ll be collecting **non-perishable grocery items**, such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and long-life milk. These items will be distributed to families in need just before Christmas, ensuring that they have the food and support they deserve for the festive season.   **Where can you donate?** We’ve made it easy for you to drop off your donations! Simply visit any of our three campuses (Narre Warren, Blackburn, or Preston) and place your items in the donation tubs set up at each location. We’ll be collecting donations until **13th December 2024**, so be sure to bring in your items before then. #### *S*uggested Non-Perishable Items to Donate** **If you’re wondering what types of items would be most helpful, we’ve put together a list of suggestions below, but any non-perishable grocery item will be greatly appreciated.** - ### **Canned Goods:** - Canned vegetables (e.g., corn, peas, carrots) - Canned fruits (e.g., peaches, pineapple, mixed fruit) - Canned soups and stews - Canned beans (e.g., baked beans, kidney beans, chickpeas) - Canned tuna, salmon, or other fish - Canned spaghetti, ravioli, or other ready meals ### **Grains and Pasta:** - Pasta (e.g., spaghetti, penne, macaroni) - Rice (e.g., white, brown, basmati, jasmine) - Instant noodles or ramen - Couscous, quinoa, or polenta - Instant mashed potatoes ### **Breakfast Items:** - Breakfast cereals (e.g., oats, cornflakes, muesli) - Muesli bars or granola bars - Pancake mix - Long-life or powdered milk - Honey or jam ### **Canned & Jarred Sauces and Condiments:** - Pasta sauces (e.g., tomato, bolognese) - Tomato paste or canned tomatoes - BBQ sauce, mustard, and mayonnaise - Peanut butter or other nut butters - Jam or marmalade - Soy sauce or other Asian sauces ### **Baking Ingredients:** - Flour (e.g., plain, self-raising) - Sugar (white, brown, or caster) - Baking powder, bicarbonate of soda - Salt - Cocoa powder - Chocolate chips or baking chocolate - Cake mixes or muffin mixes ### **Snacks:** - Crackers or rice cakes - Biscuits or cookies - Popcorn - Pretzels - Chips or crisps ### **Canned or Jarred Drinks:** - Long-life juice (e.g., orange, apple, tropical) - Instant coffee or tea bags - Hot chocolate mix - Powdered drink mixes (e.g., sports drinks, cordial) ### **Other Non-Perishable Items:** - Shelf-stable milk alternatives (e.g., almond milk, soy milk) - Tinned or dried fruits (e.g., apricots, sultanas, raisins) - Instant or powdered soup mixes - Tinned or vacuum-packed lentils and pulses - Dried beans (e.g., lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas) #### *A Heartfelt Thank You* We’re incredibly grateful for the support and generosity of the All Health Training community every year, and we know that together, we can make this Christmas season a little brighter for those who need it most.   Let’s come together and make a difference.
