Vinnies Christmas Appeal

The Vinnies Christmas Appeal for 2020 is very different than in the past years. In 2020 all are asked to donate Woolworths or Coles Vouchers only, due to COVID restrictions of handling food.

These vouchers start from $5.00 and can be purchased at any Woolworths Group store or Coles-Myer group store. These include Coles and Woolworths supermarkets. Donating cash or goods is not possible this year. This request comes from Vinnies NSW and is in compliance with Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta Policy regarding cash-handling.

Vouchers are collected and recorded in Learning Groups and we only have five days remaining. Vinnies will be receiving the vouchers at the Christmas Liturgy in front of the College community.

Each Learning Group has been assigned a specific family from the Vinnies Marayong Chapter - each family's Christmas celebrations and gifts are dependent upon each individual Learning Group’s generosity! The details of each family have been kept confidential but the local Vinnies are relying on our community more than ever.

We thank you in advance for enabling St Andrew's College community to become compassionate hands of Christ this Christmas.
