SCHOOL FUNDRAISING

Kate’s quiz night A huge thank you to our Community Ambassador, Kate, who organised a stunning quiz night in Mount Barker. The evening was an absolute blast, and she managed to raise over $5,000 to aid our work in supporting women experiencing homelessness. Thank you Kate!

St Thomas More School Elizabeth Park & St Mary Magdalene's Thank you to the incredible staff at St Thomas More School Elizabeth Park and St Mary Magdalene's School, who spent time creating packs of much-needed items for women at Catherine House. We are so grateful to receive ongoing support from our incredible community!

Bunnings BBQ Thank you to everyone who supported our most recent Bunnings BBQ at Mile End, held in September. A huge thank you to our volunteers, everyone who stopped past for a sausage, and to those generous people who donated bread, sauce and soft drinks. A special thank you to Troy, who donated 70 kilograms of sausages! This collective generosity from the community makes such a difference to our fundraising efforts. $2,400 was raised, funding over two weeks of accommodation for a woman in our Crisis Service.

St Francis de Sales College St Francis de Sales College ended the term by

celebrating College Day, an annual event which honours their generous heritage by holding a charity fundraiser. St Francis de Sales chose to raise money for Catherine House, with a successful (and delicious) bake sale.
