MURRAY residents, local schools and businesses have come to the aid of the district’s less fortunate, adding a little extra cheer as the festive season draws near.
The community rallied during October’s Anti-Poverty Week, donating non-perishable food and personal hygiene items to the Pinjarra Community Kitchen.
Collection bins were set up at several locations throughout the district including Alcoa Administration Building, Blue Wren Café, Caraholly Orchard, Carcoola Primary School, Creative Aquarius Markets in South Yunderup, Dwellingup History and Visitor Information Centre, Dwellingup Primary School, Murray Aquatic and Leisure Centre, Murray Library, North Dandalup Primary School, Pinjarra Senior High School and the Shire of Murray Administration Office.
