Mini Vinnies Beanie and Blanket Drive

Please see the below letter we have received. Thank you to the many families who supported this great drive to reach out to those in need.

I would like to thank the families from St John Vianney’s School for their very generous donations of blankets for St Vincent de Paul.

I attended the Soup Van in Dandenong this week and took all the donated blankets, as well as some donated beanies and scarves, with me. Some were distributed that night and the rest will go out on the Soup Van over the next few weeks. They were very gratefully received by the people who come to the Soup Van for assistance. It meant that they were able to not only obtain some soup and warm food, they also went away with something that will help keep them warmer for much longer.

Thank you very much.

I have attached a couple of photos of the volunteers loading the blankets in the Soup Van for the nightly delivery run.
