Winter Appeal 2021

Each of us has the power to make a positive difference to the world we live in and the lives of others. In your neighbourhood and community there are many reasons to help. Through partnering with the St Vincent de Paul Society for this year's Winter Appeal you will enable Vinnies to continue providing vital services to those we assist and supporting people just like us to have a brighter future.
Did you know that more than 25,000 children are without a home in Australia today? It's expected that this number has grown since the beginning of the pandemic last year. Two-thirds of these children are under 12 years of age.
Your support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal this year means we can help find children a safe and permanent home and experience a bit of joy, dignity, and hope.
Just $22 is the cost of somewhere safe to sleep for one night.
Your donation will also assist Vinnies to continue to provide food and other grocery items to families in need, reducing the impacts of hunger and removing a major stress for families living from pay check to pay check, as well as essentials for winter to maintain dignity and provide comfort during times of need.

The first way Kildare Catholic College will be supporting Vinnies Winter Appeal is by supporting:

Crazy Tie Day - Monday 17 May

To remember and honour Mr Kennedy on the first anniversary of his passing.

He was the RE Coordinator at KCC from 2010 -2020.

Mr Kennedy was a kind and gentle soul, generous, hardworking, and also focused on finding practical ways to put his faith into action.

Please bring a Gold Coin donation for Vinnies.
