Red Bend Catholic College: The school Vinnies group has been working hard, running school BBQs and an Easter egg fundraiser to contribute to this important cause, managing to raise $1,000! A special thanks to Bernardi’s Marketplace for providing the Easter eggs. These funds will go towards the local Vinnies Winter Appeal program, used to provide emergency relief for those in immediate need – things like warm blankets, clothing, and food. It also helps fund long-term solutions, such as housing assistance, counselling, and job training programs.
Thank you to everyone who supported the fundraising efforts.
