Paige Millar, Sienna Cookson and Charlotte Cookson have donated $18.60 to Centre for Participation’s L2P program.
They sold reindeer food throughout December in Horsham.
The L2P program assists learner drivers who have trouble accessing a car or a supervising driver to teach them how to drive.
Paige said the girls wanted their money to help people get a driver’s licence.
The L2P program targets young people 16 to 21 years of age who require 120 hours of supervised driving practice before they can apply for their probationary licence.
The program matches volunteer mentor drivers with learners so they can develop their driving skills and confidence.
L2P program co-ordinator Marieke Dam said it was great to see such community-minded youngsters being actively involved and interested in their community.
She said a driver’s licence increased opportunities for employment and education.
“It also help young people stay connected to their communities,” she said.
