The collection of donations to the Rotary Berwick & District Benevolent Society's 2020 Christmas Collection began on Tuesday 1st December. The Berwick & District Benevolent Society is a project of the Rotary Club of Berwick.

The first collection of items was made at Nossal High School, where a full Collection Cage of donated items reflected the generous nature of the school community. Considering that the pupils were in the middle of exams and that students and staff were variously onsite or offsite, this was particularly pleasing.
The second collection was made at the Berwick Market Square Shopping Centre outside Woolworth, where the Collection Cage was full of a diverse range of items donated to those in need.
The donated items from both sites were passed on to Casey North Community Information Service (CNCISS) in Narre Warren, where they will be packed into Christmas hampers for distribution to those in need within the local community.
Further collections will be made from the remaining six Secondary schools next week and the donated items will be greatly appreciated by the recipients, making their Christmas so much happier.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and to all those involved in the collection process.
