Cans for Christmas
Cans 4 Christmas is a project that collects canned food through Catholic Schools and donates them to the St Vincent de Paul Society.
Auckland
Cans for Christmas has been operating for two years. In 2016 we collected 8000 cans to give to the St Vincent de Paul Society and the Mercy Hospice. This was done by a combination of 4 Catholic Secondary and 16 Catholic Primary schools throughout Auckland.
These 8000 cans were estimated to be worth $11,000, which was only a small portion that St Vincent de Paul hand out at Christmas time each year to families in need.
The idea is to continue to grow through the Catholic schools of Auckland and donate more cans in the future.
We currently have 33 Auckland schools signed up for 2017. We are also looking to expand into Christchurch and Wellington.
