We are pleased to announce the launch of our annual St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal, proudly led this year by our St Joey’s Vinnies group (previously Mini Vinnies & Teen Vinnies)

This appeal provides our community with a meaningful opportunity to live out our Mercy values: assisting the poor, showing compassion, and upholding the dignity of those in need. With the demand for support services growing each year, St Vincent de Paul is relying more than ever on the generosity of communities like ours.

This year, we are specifically seeking donations of:

• Long-life winter foods: UHT milk, cereal, canned soup and stews, noodles, baked beans, canned spaghetti, rice packets, etc (Please note: no more pasta or chickpeas are needed.)
• Warm items: blankets and clothing.
• Toiletries.

Each primary classroom and secondary mentor group will have a collection box for donations. Contributions will be gathered and delivered to St Vincent de Paul regularly throughout the appeal period.

The appeal will run until the end of Week 3, Term 3.

Thank you in advance for your generous support. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those doing it tough this winter.
