The Flood Appeal Day 1

Wow, what a fantastic effort today. We have packed over 80 boxes of deodorants, baby products, toiletries, towels, bathroom items, and plenty of school booklist items.

The day started at the Beenleigh Market place and Coles Beenleigh. It was all about establishing our appeal, but what we did not expect was the huge generosity of the Beenleigh people. One lady provided an entire trolley of goods.

So many also apologised for not giving as they had already donated. They just couldn't do more, not that we were asking for more, they had already done their bit.



The photo above shows Tabitha and Rikki with the second wave of donations.

There were plenty of hands at the den to help sort the wave of donations.




After a full day and the boxes stacked away we head home ready for what is hoped a continued support and supply of desperately needed goods.
