Menai Anglican is once again supporting Anglicare’s Toys ‘n’ Tucker drive, collecting food and gifts for those who would otherwise go without.

Through Toys ‘n’ Tucker, Anglicare Sydney provides a way for churches, schools, businesses and community groups to share the joy of Christmas and demonstrate God’s love by providing food and gifts for families in need.

Wondering What to Give?

Non-perishable food items such as:

• Christmas cake or pudding
• Long life custard
• Tinned ham
• Canned fruit and vegetables
• Rice, pasta or lentils
• Instant noodles (bag, not cup)
• Tea, coffee and Milo
• Long life milk
• Shortbread and biscuits (avoid chocolate covered ones as they melt)
• Jam
• Tinned salmon or tuna
• Pancake/cake mix
• Jelly crystals
• Muesli bars
• Lollies (no chocolate please, it will melt!)

Standard sizes are preferred to help everything fit in neatly.

Any donation is gratefully received, but it is helpful if pork, gelatine, alcohol or items that easily crush or melt can be avoided.
