VINNIES Can Line 2026 – Help Us Support Vinnies!
We’re excited to announce that the Annual Vinnies Can Line is back for 2026!
Donate Food – Support Vinnies Night Patrol
Over the next few weeks, students are encouraged to bring in as many canned goods as possible to support the most vulnerable in our local community. On Wednesday, 10 June, all donated cans will be lined up in the College Gym with the aim of spelling the word: Fidelitas to reflect our current 2026 theme.
All donations will go directly to St Vincent de Paul (Vinnies), who work tirelessly to support people in need across Canberra and the surrounding region.
About Vinnies Night Patrol
Vinnies’ Night Patrol service operates seven nights a week, 364 days a year, offering practical support and compassionate care to people experiencing homelessness. With just two vans and a dedicated team of volunteers, they provide hot drinks, snacks, blankets, and friendship to those sleeping rough across Canberra and Queanbeyan.

How You Can Help
Donations will directly support Vinnies’ vital outreach work. Last year’s Can Line was an incredible success, and with our growing student body, we hope to collect even more this time.
Please ensure the cans you donate are foods you’d enjoy eating yourself, as we aim to give with dignity and care.
