# [Non-Uniform Fridays to Support Disaster Relief](https://blog.moravianacademy.org/blog/non-uniform-fridays-in-january-to-support-disaster-relief-in-australia-and-puerto-rico)

For the next two Fridays (January 17th and 24th), the Middle School will adjust our typical protocols of collecting canned goods and instead collect monetary donations for the relief efforts in both [Australia](https://www.redcross.org.au/campaigns/disaster-relief-and-recovery-donate) and [Puerto Rico](https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/how-to-help-puerto-rico-after-deadly-earthquake/2256870/). 

We are asking that each community member bring in $1 for each dress down day. Cash or coins are acceptable. People may also contribute more if inclined. The entirety of the money raised will be donated.

For those who wish to donate for local Pennsylvania needs, we will still accept canned foods and non-perishable food donations for the [Northeast Community Center](https://neccbethlehem.org/).
