A fundraising effort by pupils of St Joseph's Boys' High School, Newry has seen an incredible amount of items donated to a local food-bank appeal and to Newry Helping the Homeless.
In addition to the food, toiletries, clothing and family toys that were donated by pupils, their families and staff members for the local food-bank appeal, the RE department of St Joseph's Boys' HS, Newry was also able to provide £670 worth of pop-up tents, sleeping bags, thermal clothing and blankets to support the fantastic work of Newry Helping the Homeless; thanks to the benevolent support from pupils and a fantastic donation of £200 from Newry INTO Branch.
A further £150 in gift vouchers was presented to Stewart from Newry Helping the Homeless from benevolent donations received over the last few weeks.
Head of Department for RE, Mr Brendan Fearon, spoke of the humbling kindness shown by the St Joseph's collegiate during the Christmas appeal collection and expressed added gratitude to those that helped with the collection, adding "Thank you to every single person who helped support this extremely deserving cause, and we wish you and your families continued good health and blessings over the Christmas period"
