A Christmas Donation To Help Those In Need

At their last meeting of 2023, members of Home Hill Rotary Club were pleased invite Kaylene Rinella of St Vincent de Paul to join them.

Home Hill Rotary Club took the opportunity to present Kaylene with a cheque for $1,500 to support the work of St Vincent de Paul.

At the meeting, Kaylene gave a brief update on the work of St Vincent de Paul and how this donation would be used.

“Thanks to Rotary again this year for assisting Vinnies to provide emergency food relief, not only at Christmas but throughout the year,” Kaylene said.

A post sharing news of the donation on social media was met with comments of congratulations and appreciation.

“Great work Rotary and Kaylene!! Thank you to both organisations for all your hard work in our community,” said on commentor.

“Well done Home Hill Rotary donating to this cause,” said another.

“Well done, Kayleen. You do so much for the community,” said another.

St Vincent de Paul works to combat social injustice by advocating for people who are marginalised or disadvantaged, or at risk of experiencing disadvantages.

Workers and volunteers work to prevent poverty and homelessness, and work to support those experiencing disadvantage to regain sustainable independence by providing them with a hand up, not just a hand out.
