FRIDAY 5TH JULY

ST VINCENT DE PAUL WINTER APPEAL ~ WINTER WOOLLY MUFTI DAY

This year, the focus is on the issue of the working homeless. The lack of affordable housing and increased demand for rental properties in Australia means that even those working can’t afford a roof over their heads. As a result, more and more Australians are being forced into homelessness – ‘the working homeless’. Meeting basic needs such as food, water, and a place to sleep can be the most important daily priority for people experiencing homelessness and is often not a reality for many Australians, even if they are employed themselves. 

Our school’s support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal will allow help to support people who are already, or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Therefore, we will hold a Winter Woolly Mufti Day on Friday, 5th July. Students are asked to wear warm mufti clothes to school and winter accessories such as beanies, scarves, gloves, stockings, jackets, etc. Instead of a gold coin donation, if you are able, we would like families to donate by sending in non-perishable food items (with an expiry date of more than 6 months), winter clothing/accessories (near new/clean condition) or hygiene products (these products are crucial for people experiencing homelessness to maintain their health and dignity amidst harsh conditions). You can contribute significantly by sending in essentials like soap, toothpaste, disinfectant, hand creams and lip balms to support wellness during the cold season. Thank you in advance for your generous donations.
