Food Drive for the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
As the cold months of winter approach, we invite our school community to support our Social Justice initiative by donating to the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Winter Appeal.
We invite all the students in our school to donate some food items from the suggestions below:
pasta
pasta sauce
rice
lentils
chickpeas
canned tuna
canned vegetables
canned fruit
cans and packets of soup
noodles
baked beans
snack foods eg. muesli bars, dried fruit, chips
breakfast cereals
Vegemite, honey, jam
long life milk
sugar
tea, coffee, Milo
biscuits: sweet/savoury
tooth paste
tooth brushes
soap
washing liquid/powder
We will place a basket for donations in each Learning Community until Wednesday, 25th June. The donated items will be collected by the local St. Vincent de Paul representative, who will ensure that the food is distributed to those in need within the local community. Please check that the cans and packets of food are not past the use-by date.
In supporting this cause, we are living out the Catholic Social Teachings of Human Dignity and Preferential Option for the Poor.
