On the 23rd of December 2015 we are turning the Glen Innes School Hall into a Mini New World and having the Social Workers at our 5 schools invite up to 100 families to come and be blessed with food from Christmas Box Hampers; Hubbard’s Cereal; New World Eastridge Grocers and Hams; Gatting’s Caterers Dessert Hampers.
