Looking to give back during the holidays? We are looking for volunteers to help us with the success of our Pigs of Hope campaign!

The Pigs of Hope campaign raises funds for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope transportation program, which provides our neighbours rides to cancer-related appointments.

We need to get our piggies adopted for the holidays! People can adopt a piggy (bank), name it, dress it up and bring it to all their holiday parties! Feed it well and return it after the holidays with a full belly.

Volunteers needed to help with this fun and rewarding campaign! Help us get these piggies out in the community!

For more information on volunteering or to Adopt a Pig, please email Theresa: Theresa.blondin@ontario.cancer.ca

Yes - You can have your cake and eat it too. Learn how to make better-for-you baked treats that will become part of your holiday traditions.

St. Joseph School has partnered with Lally Ford to Scare Hunger on Halloween night. Our student government will dress in St. Joseph uniforms and rather than trick or treating for candy, they will be asking for canned goods to help stock the shelves of the Tilbury Food Bank. All donations will remain here in Tilbury.

In addition to collecting donations on Halloween night, Lally Ford will be collecting at their dealership which will be added to the final total.

The day after Halloween, the students and Lally will drive the donation over the food bank

This is part of a social justice initiative by the school to give back to the community.
