School Supply Drive for Kids

Local real estate agency, RE/MAX Gold Gladstone, and Roseberry Community Services, are calling for the generous Gladstone community, to pull together for less fortunate, local school kids and families, by donating back-to-school supplies in time for the 2017 school year. RE/MAX Gladstone co-owners, Shane McLeod & Cyndi Ward, have both seen and experienced their hometown struggle through a very tough four years, as the Gladstone Region once again finds its feet on the back of recent projects winding down. Looking for some way to help those in need going forward, the RE/MAX Gold team came up with the idea to help with a school supply drive, in time for families with kids doing it a bit tougher, ready for the 2017 school year. Partnering with Roseberry Community Services, all donated items will be distributed to local region school kids and families, who may be struggling a little to make ends meet, following the Christmas period, and what has been a challenging year for a lot of Gladstone locals.

“This is a simple and relatively inexpensive exercise a lot of locals can help with, just by picking up a few small items on the weekly shop, or grabbing a couple of extras when shopping for their own kids’ school lists,” said Shane. “That extra box of colouring pencils, a couple of exercise books, gluestick, or even a backpack, could make the world of difference to a family finding it hard to get their kids prepared for the new school year.”
