Our local Vinnies Conference is beginning their annual Winter Appeal. Here at Saint Pius X School, we have supported the Vinnies Winter Appeal for many years. Our local Vinnies conference is always grateful for our generous support.

Every week, Vinnies volunteers visit families in our area and assist them with food hampers, shopping vouchers and other financial support.

If you are in a position to donate some non- perishable food items for Vinnies to distribute to those in need in our community, please send these along to school by Thursday 24th June in a plastic shopping bag.

If you would prefer to donate a voucher for Vinnies to purchase necessary items from a supermarket, these can also be sent to school in a sealed envelope.

Of course, we understand if current circumstances prevent you from donating at this time.

Donations can be sent to your child’s classroom, and we will arrange for these to be collected from there.

Suggested food donations are:

• Canned food (Soup, baked beans, spaghetti)
• Long life milk
• Pasta and pasta sauce
• Breakfast cereals
• Rice

Thank you for your ongoing support of the wonderful work that Vinnies does in our community.
