Vinnies Winter Appeal

On Wednesday 29th June, St Joseph’s will be holding a ‘Winter Woollies Day’ to support the St Vincent De Paul Society’s fundraiser ‘Vinnies Winter Appeal’.

The Vinnies Winter Appeal is all about providing emergency relief to those at risk of/or experiencing homelessness. Vinnies would appreciate donations of ‘Winter Woolies’ such as gloves, socks, jackets, beanies, blankets or sleeping bags. All donations are then distributed through the homelessness and community services to directly support those who are most impacted.

Students are invited to wear a beanie or scarf with their school uniform on Wednesday 29th June to support the Winter Appeal.

Have a lovely week,
