Vinnies Central & Far West NSW sends a huge thank you to the students and staff at Red Bend Catholic College for their incredible $1,000 donation to the Vinnies Winter Appeal. The 40+ students involved spent many hours fundraising, through activities such as Zooper Dooper sales at the swimming carnival, the mega easter egg raffle, Thursday bacon and egg roll sales and their ongoing Friday lolly shop.
Through their fundraising efforts, the school’s Youth Conference is making a real difference for people doing it tough this winter, and earning their first Bronze Award in the Vinnies Service Medallion Program along the way!The Vinnies Service Medallion (VSM) is an initiative developed by the St Vincent de Paul (SVdP) Society NSW which caters for secondary students. The VSM enhances students’ knowledge regarding key social justice issues and provides practical opportunities through volunteering that align to meet the needs of their community.
