Social Justice Fundraiser

Mini Vinnies Project: 'Help our friends in Murwillumbah Sth'

We can help!!

Dear families and community members of SJV,

 

Thank you to all those students and families who have already donated to this great cause. At SJV we take social justice very seriously. It is a real opportunity for our students to understand that we, as a community, have a duty to help others in need. Please continue to support this from home. 

Reminder about this fundraiser

No doubt, you have heard about the recent floods and devastation in Southern Queensland and Northern NSW. Many communities and livelihoods have been severely damaged and/or destroyed. Murwillumbah Sth was one of those communities.  

 

We have connected with a school, St Joseph's Primary School in South Murwillumbah and their principal Mr Jason Clarke. Mr Clarke told us that, even though the floodwaters have subsided, they are in great need of Woolies and Coles vouchers for their families who were hardest hit during these floods. Some families have lost everything!! Businesses, homes, pets, photo albums, basically their places to live have been devastated.

How can you help?

During the next couple of weeks, there will be collection boxes in each of the classrooms.

 

We ask for a donation of Coles and/or Woolworths gift vouchers or money (we will buy the vouchers). How much or what you want to donate is up to you, but every little bit helps.

Any contacts at Coles or Woolies who might be able to help?  Let us know...

 

On behalf of the Mini Vinnies team,
