FROM DENTAL ON CAMBRIDGE
Dental on Cambridge is a local family-owned practice on Cambridge Parade in Manly that is always looking for ways to support our local community. The practice is often approached for donations by larger organisations across Brisbane, but we really want to be able to focus our impact on our local community. In previous years, we partnered with BABI Youth and Family Service, Silky Oaks, and Wynnum Community Place.
This year, we will support the Manly State School in collecting non-perishable lunchbox items to help local families and their children who are finding the cost of living pressures are hitting hard. Manly State School usually relies on current families to assist with supplying some extra items when they can by dropping these off at the office. This year, Dental on Cambridge will be donating (and collecting) donations of the following supplies in January 2025 while the school is closed.
Suitable items include muesli bars, multipacks of snacks such as chips, shapes, rice cakes, poppers, mini packets of treats, fruit straps, shelf-suitable salami sticks – essentially any item you would purchase for yourself, children or grandchildren that can easily be stored in a pantry for a long period of time.
While any donation will be warmly accepted, we’re asking the community to purchase an additional product as they do their normal lunchbox or school holiday shopping to assist Manly State School to start the school year with a filled pantry to help children who might need a little extra food from time to time.
The Dental on Cambridge Team will deliver these to Manly State School on Friday, January 24, 2025.
Donations can be made at Dental on Cambridge 4/99 Cambridge Parade, Manly, from Monday to Thursday from 8:30am to 6:00pm and on Fridays from 8:30am to 5:00pm. The practice will be closed from 5:00pm on Friday, December 20, reopening Monday, January 6.
