RC Mt Warning is joining with a number of Tweed District service clubs to help the valuable Literacy project to continue. The combined clubs will take on a licence from Literacy enabling them to fundraise locally, and vitally, to spend the donations on local issues. Together, these two great projects keep Healthy Harold teaching children that they can make healthy choices and support this great scheme of Giving Dictionaries to local schools.

RC Mt Warning sponsors this wonderful charity that feeds the homeless people of our town. As the profile of "homeless person" changes from single people with severe problems to entire families who cannot make ends meet, this charity is constantly stretched. Sponsorship involves monthly donations of food plus a huge Christmas hamper. You can find their website at: www.youhaveafriend.org.au

Every year Br Andrew Simpson OBE of the University of Madang helps RC Mt Warning identify a university student who receives a scholarship that covers tuition and living expenses. It is usually a female student as females in this society have few opportunities for education or careers.
