Unfortunately the article inadvertently missed mentioning that some St. John’s College students were also involved in sorting and that St. Peter, St. Pius, & St. Patrick schools were also involved in the fundraising.

ACS students take part in “We Scare Hunger” Campaign
Visit to the Tent Encampments
This past week, SSVP volunteers went by the encampment sites in the downtown core where individuals who are homeless are sheltering. Hats, gloves, socks, hygiene products, fresh fruit, and other items were distributed to those in need. More than 40 individuals, both men and women, were served. Many of our neighbours are facing the prospect of a cold winter living on the streets of our community. Please keep them in your thoughts as they struggle to get by.
Sorting Food Donations
Peter Giordano, SSVP VP Youth, proudly organized and worked with Assumption College Prefects and St. John’s College students who helped sort the food from the food drives that St. Basil’s, Assumption College, Sacred Heart and Resurrection ran for us at St Vincent de Paul!! The students were absolutely great! The positive attitude, energy, enthusiasm and focus were truly inspirational and uplifting! 
Thanks to everyone for all of your help! Kudos!!
Sunday November 14, 2021 – World Day of the Poor
November 14th, the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, is the World Day of the Poor. We at the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul – Brant, invite you to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters, especially at this uncertain time. We encourage you to lend a hand by participating in our guignolée or in our collection of food supplies. In this very busy period, we always need volunteers and, of course, financial help is always appreciated. You may donate to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul team in our community, or directly to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, via our website, at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/the-society-of-st-vincent-de-paul-particular-council-of-br/
