Our annual St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal is now underway, proudly led this year by our St Joey’s Vinnies group (formerly Mini Vinnies & Teen Vinnies).

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

We are currently seeking donations of:

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

Collection boxes are available in every primary classroom and secondary mentor group. Donations will be gathered and delivered regularly throughout the appeal.

The appeal runs until the end of Week 3, Term 3.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can bring warmth and hope to those doing it tough this winter.
