Paint the Gong REaD have delivered the first of their book boxes to the new Homeless Hub in Kenny St and then off to the Harbour St doctors surgery and to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. Know of a place where families have to wait with young children? Let us know and we’ll make sure they can read a book while they wait.
Congratulations to the team at Paint the Hills REaD for their book swap box at a local Gloria Jeans, where they regularly read with children.
Plus winning the Grill’d healthy burgers charity donation!
Puddles and the team at Paint Hawkesbury REaD delivered the first of 50 book baskets this month. Sponsored by the North Richmond branch of Bendigo Bank the remaining baskets will be distributed to coffee shops, doctors’ surgeries and other places during the year ensuring the local kids lots of opportunities to enjoy a good book!
The wonderful team at AMP Australia held a charity bake sale this week
to raise funds for Paint the Town REaD. Thanks to all who baked, bought and manned the stall!
