SCHOOL Savvy CQ has gained serious momentum, following a successful fundraiser last month which raised $900.

CentacareCQ School Savvy project coordinator Anna Morris and assistant Danielle Mitchell are asking the wider community to get behind the appeal and help Central Queensland families.

“We are grateful for the money raised from the trivia night, but the project is far from over,” Danielle and Anna said.

“We are seeking community donations of pre-loved uniforms, as well as any stationery or monetary contributions people are able to make.

“We have our pack-a-pencil case initiative back again this year, so if people aren’t able to help on the uniform front, donating a packed pencil case is always an option.

Danielle said there were also options for businesses to jump on board for sponsorship.

All donations from residents, community groups and local businesses would go towards the 2020 appeal – pop up shops will be held in the Rockhampton, Capricorn Coast and Bundaberg regions in January 2020.

“We wish to thank everyone involved in helping support the School Savvy CQ initiative thus far.

Anyone interested in donating to or sponsoring School Savvy can phone CentacareCQ on 1300 523 985 and speak to Anna or Danielle, alternatively you can email schoolsavvy@centacarecq.com.
