soups, chocolates and sweets, cooking oil, cous cous, rice noodles, pasta, tinned fruit and

vegetables, tinned fish, tomato paste.

toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, washing powder. Travel ten travel cards are

also much appreciated.

Boxes for the donation of goods will be provided at St Cecilia’s church, St Cecilia’s and

May the donated goods will be collected and transported to the Asylum Seeker Centre at Newtown.
