Stratford College and National School collected boxes of non-perishable foods as part of Mitzvah Week/Social Action Week (16th - 20th November). All the food is being donated to Focus Ireland.

On behalf of Mitzvah Week/Social Action Week, Stratford Schools organised a food collection for Focus Ireland, a charity that helps the homeless. This is used by their cafeteria and is very much appreciated. The effort was organised by the Jewish Studies staff, supported by the Student Council. Stratford N.S. joined Stratford College in this activity and the response was terrific.
