VINNIE’S WINTER APPEAL 

As we head into the cooler months approaching winter, we have much to be grateful for. 

A roof over our heads, a warm bed at night, lighting, heating, and an evening meal.  

As you all know, not everyone is so fortunate.  

The Nazareth College Winter Appeal aims to alleviate stress for families in need by providing essential household items, including non-perishable food and basic toiletries. 

Whilst the winter appeal is coordinated by the Vinnies Team, they cannot do it alone.  

 We need the entire Nazareth community to embrace the opportunity to give to others. We want students to donate proudly and loudly. 

Over the next 4 weeks, every student is asked to bring donations and place them in the boxes located in each Pastoral classroom.  

This year, we are asking senior students from Years 10-12 to donate toiletries, while Years 7-9 donate non-perishable food items. Please consider donating a meal rather than a single item, such as a packet of pasta and a jar of sauce, or a carton of long-life milk with some cereal. Every item donated is greatly appreciated by a real person who has nothing. 

All donations go directly to people with needs in our wider community, distributed by our local St Vincent De Paul group. 

We are also aiming to make up care packages and small backpacks to distribute to the people living roughly on the streets. 

Do not be afraid to lead by example. Being generous does not cost much, but it can be life changing.
