Parish Food Bank Appeal you may have read in The Howick and Pakuranga Times, that the Salvation Army food bank in Howick is closing. This will put additional pressure on the St Vincent de Paul food bank that runs out of the bottom of our Parish Centre at our Church in Picton Street. The food bank currently runs low each week, so extra items are greatly appreciated at this time. You and your family are welcome to pop items in the yellow bins just inside the office door here at school, either at pick-up or drop off, and we will transport them to the food bank – many thanks on behalf of our St Vincent de Paul food bank for your ongoing support of this important Christian Outreach activity in our community.
