Catholic Care Carry-A-Can – Casual Clothes Day

On 7 November, CRCCS’s social justice group led the Catholic Care Carry a Can initiative, capturing the heart of our community’s generosity. Instead of the usual gold coin donation for casual clothes day, students were invited to bring in a can of food. This thoughtful approach sparked a tremendous response, as bags quickly overflowed with essential items donated by students and community members alike.

That same day, two representatives arrived with two cars to collect the impressive amount of donations. These items will soon be distributed to families in need, helping to make their Christmas season a little brighter. This initiative serves as a powerful reminder of how empathy and unity can bring hope to those who may be facing difficult times.

The Carry a Can drive truly underscores the strength of community and the impact of living out our College Pillar of Compassion can have. By coming together in this way, we help ensure that more families will experience the joy and warmth of the Christmas Season.
