Gioia House Outreach

This term our Gioia House Service Learning will focus on providing hampers for St Paul’s Church, Burwood. St Paul’s Church provides food, hygiene products and gifts for people who are homeless or do not have enough money to provide for themselves or their families. Generous volunteers at St Paul’s Church organise a ‘Parish Pantry’ where people in need are able to choose the food items they want and need. 

Every year at Christmas time, St Paul’s creates Christmas hampers for families in need to enable them to enjoy Christmas day with food and treats. There is also an opportunity to donate gifts to make someone’s Christmas a little brighter.

If possible, please continue to give generously throughout the term. We encourage the students to do some extra chores to raise money to provide for a family that doesn’t have much this Christmas. Please generously donate Grocery Shop Gift Cards (Coles, Woolworths, IGA etc.), food items, hygiene items and gifts (please label who the gift would be suitable for) for those families who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Thank you in advance for helping make someone else’s Christmas a little brighter and happier.
