SVDP APPEAL FOR ANNUAL COLLECTION NOV 25 - 26

Envelopes for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society collection are in your boxes and are also being collected the week of Nov 25 - 26, 2023

With the funds we receive from your donations we act on behalf of St. Dominic’s Parish community.  The money collected is used all year by the Society.  We are quite remarkable in that 100% of the donations are given away. No expenses or honoriums are deducted by the Society, we do not take mileage. We make visits and give vouchers for the grocery stores to our neighbours-in-need.

So far this year we have made approximately 350 visits, issued about 325 grocery vouchers totalling $15,000, and 600 bus tickets. We helped 275 children, and 576 adults.  We are able to order beds, and kitchen tables and chairs and helped people in a limited way with rent arrears. As a Society in this Parish we have provided over 500 volunteer hours in outreach.

So please donate generously next week. It allows us to reach out for you and from you. As a counter to Black Friday and Cyber Monday Nov. 28 is Giving Tuesday. Please take this opportunity to help people in this community

Thanks for your generosity!
