Wanted! School Supplies The Whitsunday Social Craft Group

The Whitsunday Social Craft Group is looking for any school supplies that you do not want. Whether that's pencils, erasers, rulers, sharpeners, pens, geometry sets, unused paper or books with blank pages they want to hear from you.

The craft group like to save items from landfill and deliver them to remote island communities and schools in the Solomon Islands. Here, students do not have many resources and appreciate all the support they can get.

While Tina Everett from the Whitsunday Social Craft group has looked into donating the used items to charities in Australia, she is constantly told that they don’t collect items, just money so that parents can purchase items.

She has, therefore, taken it into her own hands to collect and deliver these much-needed items to regional area’s which otherwise would get little resources.

Tina kindly requests that all items be dropped off at the Whitsunday Social Craft Group's Boomerang Bag shop, located at the Whitsunday Shopping Centre, near the steps. She extends her heartfelt thanks to all individuals for their generous donations and continued support.

Do you have any unwanted school supplies lying around? Pop into the Whitsunday Social Craft Group’s Boomerang Bag shop or text Tina for more information on: 0409428793
