Luke 4:18 Local Neighbours in Need Christmas Initiatives

As a school community, we are asking for your assistance to help our immediate neighbours in the Aurora and Oak Ridges area who are in need.

Luke 4:18 ELF RUN:  In addition, we will also be holding a toiletry drive from November 29-December 6.  Starting Monday, we will begin our ELF RUN toiletry drive for Saint Vincent de Paul.  All proceeds of the toiletry drive support the Annual St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Drive at Our Lady of the Annunciation Church. Please bring in shampoo, deodorant, cleaning products, hygiene products and general household items such as aluminum, foil, paper towels and ziploc bags!  Every item you bring in will receive one point for your class. Each day we will tally up the points and the winning primary class, the winning junior, and the winning intermediate class will win a Christmas surprise!  All donations will be picked up on Monday, December 6.

Luke 4:18 Christmas Cookies Sales:  Our school has decided to raise funds by selling Terracotta cookies during lunch for $2, to help  buy gift cards to distribute in time for Christmas. Gift cards for food and essentials such as No Frills (PC), Metro, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire, Dollarama and WalMart are all needed.  These gift cards will provide our “neighbours in need” with gifts, food and other necessities to make their holidays brighter.  All proceeds will be given to two St. Vincent de Paul conferences in our school boundary, Our Lady of the Annunciation Church and Our Lady of Grace Church. Our “neighbours in need” are people in our community that have fallen on hard financial times and are looking for help during this holiday season.
