Only one week left to sponsor a Christmas food hamper
Every year, the Society of St Vincent de Paul at St Bernadette’s organises a Christmas collection for the families of our Walmer outreach project. In 2022, given the rising cost of food, we made the difficult decision to prioritise groceries over traditional Christmas gifts.
We therefore once again appeal to you to help us make Christmas a little more special for these families by sponsoring a grocery hamper for R200. This will be added to the monthly food parcels we distribute in December.
How, exactly?
Donate all, or just some, of the items on the grocery list below
OR sponsor a hamper for R200 and we’ll do the rest.
There are three easy options:
1) Deliver groceries to the parish office by 22 November or Church foyer by 24 November
2) Make a direct deposit to the SVDP bank account
3) Make a cash donation to the parish office by 22 November.
