Before the Covid pandemic, over 130,000 people in South Australia were living below the poverty line. Unfortunately, with job losses, increasing inflation and health impacts, this figure has been rising. Many South Australians are choosing between shelter and food, and charities who offer support services are struggling to meet the increase in demand.
This year, ‘Compassion; walking with and having empathy for all’ is our central Core Value at the College. Compassion is about breaking down barriers and taking action to help those in need. With this in mind, and in support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal, Living Justice | Living Peace sought donations of non-perishable food items from our families, students, and staff. The response from our community was incredibly heart-warming and many people gave generously. Our Houses competed for the most donations (well-done Nagle for collecting 126 donations) and our ESO staff lined the halls of the admin building! Well over 500 donations were collected!
The Living Justice | Living Peace Group would like to thank everyone who participated for their incredible generosity.
We are so grateful to be a part of such a compassionate family here at Kildare.
