St. Vincent de Paul in the 8th Ward
By Cara | October 5, 2009
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a non-profit organization providing personal assistance with furniture, food, clothing, rent, utilities, transportation, and companionship to people facing economic, emotional, or spiritual crisis. There is a group operating out of the St. Margaret of Scotland parish that serves the people of the 8th ward. I will relay information about their numerous volunteer opportunities and events so that we may assist their outreach to our neighbors and friends in the 8th ward. Thank you – CJ
Annual SVDP coat and costume drive: Once again this year our SVDP conference plans to give away 65 or more new winter coats and gently used Halloween costumes to children in our parish neighborhood. Donors are needed to support this very appreciated program. A financial donation of $35 will ensure that a child received a new winter coat. Please contact Cathy White at 773-0363 with your financial donation or your donation of a Halloween costume. The event will take place on Sunday, October 25 so please act soon.
SVDP pantry needs: personal hygiene and cleaning items – soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, paper towels, toilet tissue. Please contact Jeff Goldone at 776-2204.
