Pantry Drive for St Vincent de Paul

Each year, teachers Emily Wilkins (Sacred Heart College) and Matthew Stolp (Guilford Young College) run a Pantry Drive for St Vincent de Paul to collect groceries for people in need, in our community. They are currently looking for people to donate to their fourth Pantry Drive this Saturday, 26 November.

The way the Pantry Drive works is that anyone can register via the link below or the QR code on the poster. They then leave a bag of groceries and/or toiletries out the front of their house between 10am-4pm on Saturday 26 November and one of the volunteer drivers collects the donation and brings it to their drop-off point at Guildford Young College. Every donation goes directly to St Vincent de Paul and is distributed to those in need in the form of care packages, which is especially needed by struggling families during the festive season. 

For further information please do not hesitate to contact Matthew Stolp at: mstolp@gyc.tas.edu.au
