St Vinnies Winter Appeal 2026

For more than 30 years, Xavier College has proudly supported the local St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal through donations of quality canned food and fundraising initiatives such as Winter Woollies Days. This year, students and staff across the Two Wells, Evanston and Gawler Belt campuses once again answered the Gospel call to care for others, providing practical support to local families experiencing hardship during the winter months.
Through generous donations of canned food, money, socks and blankets, the Xavier College community made a meaningful contribution to the work of St Vincent de Paul, helping to bring warmth, dignity and hope to those most in need. In addition, throughout winter, our students prepare and donate homemade soup for the local Vinnies community, further demonstrating their commitment to serving others with compassion and generosity.
