For those experiencing homelessness, not having a safe and secure place to live, especially during the winter months, causes undue stress and anxiety.
The Vinnies Group at Kildare College decided to show their support by cooking meals for the St Vincent de Paul Women’s Crisis Centre.
With mutual support and as an act of solidarity a group of Year 9 and Year 10 students volunteered their time after school in our own Kildare Soup Kitchen and this food was also given to the crisis centre, to feed the women and children.
All the students who contributed to this initiative were absolutely fantastic and a real pleasure to work with. They peeled, cut, cooked and cleaned.
We thank the Kildare community for their donations of food and Ms Camilleri and Mr Kropinski for their time in organising. We ended up making about 25 litres of soup, (potato, pumpkin and pumpkin/carrot).
We look forward to continuing our good works again during Term 3.
