Families in need will have a more comfortable Christmas this year, thanks to Catholic Regional College students from St Albans.
The school recently donated $6500 to the Holy Eucharist Food Bank, which was raised by students who developed, planned and ran fundraising activities during the year.
School spokeswoman Laura Cioccia said the students had worked extremely hard.
“The food bank feeds up to 200 families a week in the area, and relies heavily on donations,” she said.
“Our students have been volunteering there every Friday morning for the last couple of years, and we are developing a community garden in the school to help support the need for fresh fruit and vegetables.”
