ST. VINCENT DE PAUL FOOD DRIVE

This year the St. Matthew’s St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVDP) is requesting our school community’s assistance in collecting certain food items for the less fortunate in our community.  Each grade has been assigned a particular group of food items.  It would be wonderful if each child in our school can contribute one item from the list towards the SVDP.  Please note that monetary donations would also be gratefully accepted.   The deadline to donate an item is Friday, December 3, 2021.

If you have any questions please contact me at welsh@stmatthewselementary.ca
