Winter Coat Drive
The York Region conferences of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Society along with the Salvation Army and St Paul’s Lutheran Church are working together again this year to make sure this important project continues. This fall St. Kateri Tekakwitha CES will be participating in the Winter Coat Drive.
For over 10 years SSVP has been organizing this initiative to help families in York Region who struggle to make ends meet through the long winter months. Our school community has always supported this project generously! We hope that you can help us out by looking through your closets and donating any coats that are no longer needed by you or your family and your neighbours. We need coats in good condition for men, women and children…all sizes! Coats will be accepted until October 12th, 2022 at our school. Please send all coats tied up in plastic bags for ease of transport.
Thank you for sharing and for your ongoing support of the work of
Saint Vincent de Paul in our community!
