The Friends of the Poor Walk, the annual fundraiser for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, was a tremendous success. That, of course, is due to the amazing generosity of the individuals, organizations and businesses of our area.<\/p>\n
The few who walk the two miles in solidarity with the poor are but a small representation of the many people who donate and support the work of St. Vincent de Paul. Over $19,000 was collected to help with the food, rent, utility, medical and transportation assistance offered by St. Vincent de Paul.<\/p>\n
The result of this fundraiser proves once again that the work of promoting and providing social and material justice is your hearts and your hands.<\/p>\n
Thank you,<\/p>\n
