Hike for Hunger Is On Again!

Last year, with plenty of help from right throughout the Region, South Met Rovers collected over 5,500 items of non perishable food for the Wesley Mission Hike for Hunger! With Rovers from several other Regions adding their collections to the total, NSW Rovers delivered over 7,500 items of food to Wesley Mission, to help less fortunate people in Sydney.

Over the last 3 years South Met Rovers have delivered almost 10,000 cans of food and other non perishable items to Wesley Mission through the annual Hike for Hunger. You may have even seen our collection trophy in at Region Office. This year the challenge is on again, and we hope to collect more than ever before. But we need your help!!!

How can you help? Here are some easy ideas...

• Start a collection box with your Mob, Pack, Troop, Unit, Crew, Group etc
• Have a collection night and ask everyone to bring in a can of food
• Check in your pantry for any cans of food you bought for a special recipe and had forgotten about, or anything you stocked up on but no longer need
• Start your own box and ask friends, family and workmates if they have anything they can contribute
• If you see us out and about collecting at a supermarket, please leave something with us if you can
• If you work for a company that could help us in any way, please let me know

With your help, we can make this year our most successful collection ever!

If you have any questions, or would like me to come and pick up a box from you, please give me a call on 0410 487 293 or email me at Katherine.McGuigan@det.nsw.edu.au

Thankyou for your support!
