“In thanking all the suppliers who donated to this hugely successful project, I’d like to acknowledge the major sponsors of the upcoming Christmas charity lunch – Acco Brands, Dynamic Supplies ,Office National, Pilot Pen Australia and Verbatim,” Donaghy said.
 
The beneficiaries of the backpacks are:

Salvation Army says THANK YOU
 
Dear John (Donaghy), 
 
On behalf of Sydney City Salvos, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Australian Office Products Charitable Fund for your generous donation of back-to-school packs. 
 
The packs donated last year were distributed to students connected with The Salvation Army through Oasis Youth Support Network who were completing their Year 12 certificate. They were very well received and provided valuable support to young people with their studies. 
 
We are delighted to receive your support again this year and are incredibly grateful for your ongoing generosity. Your donation will once again provide practical assistance to young people and help support them in their education. 
 
Thank you for your continued partnership with Sydney City Salvos and for helping us support people in our community. 
 
Kind regards, 
Mitchell Evans 
Team Leader 
Sydney City Salvos
