The annual Pencils Project school stationery drive is fast approaching, and organisers are drawing on community support.

A grassroots not-for-profit based in Melbourne’s north west, the Pencils Project collaborates with schools, businesses, and community organisations to repurpose surplus stationery, ensuring it reaches students and schools that need it most.

On Saturday, December 14, at the rear hall of the Brimbank Church of Christ in Keilor East, volunteers are needed to assist with various tasks to prepare donations for distribution.

People of all ages are encouraged to participate. Registrations are appreciated in advance. To sign up visit: shorturl.at/Z30k0
