Sacred Heart Mission – Make a House a Home

Demonstrating our motto ‘Deeds not Words’, the Star community came together, once again, to enthusiastically support this year’s Sacred Heart Mission appeal.

The appeal theme, ‘Make a House a Home’, invited us to collect critical household items to donate to people from hotel/motel accommodation into their own homes, to adjust fully into their new home and make it a space they’ll always want to return to. Star’s goal was to have each Mentor class provide a ‘welcome hamper’ containing the following items: • 3 x Pack of Tea Towels • Spray & Wipe • Clothes Detergent • Fabric Softener • Toilet Brush • 6 Pack Toilet Paper • 1 x Bottle of Shampoo • 1 x Bottle of Conditioner • Sponge/Scourer • 1 x Pack of Razors • Dustpan & Brush • Dust Buster (small hand-held vacuum) • Dishwashing Liquid • Body Wash (full sized) Extras that the Star community provided were cushions, kettles, toasters and rugs, which were considered ‘luxury’ items. With a target of 48 hampers, Star provided 57. A wonderful contribution to a fantastic initiative.

A huge thank you goes to all those in the Star community involved. Deeds not Words indeed.
