St. Vincent de Paul is accepting donations for the ongoing welfare of the Haitian people

...... as they recuperate from the devastation of the earth quake the country recently experienced. Though the Saint Vincent de Paul Society is not a first responder to disasters, all donations will be forwarded to the National Offices of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society to their national disaster fund designated for Haiti. The funds will be used for the tremendous needs of the people after the rescue and emergency crews leave Haiti. Saint Vincent de Paul has had a presence in Haiti; however, at this writing it is not known what their status is. Please keep the country of Haiti and their people in your prayers.

St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank the countless volunteers who have contributed to our organization with their most valuable possession, their time. From volunteering at the Thrift Store to delivering Thanksgiving food baskets and everything in between, they have tirelessly been there when needed. Just as important are the people who have contributed their treasure and their talent. Without those donations, St. Vincent de Paul would not be able to function.
 
This organization is about people helping people.
 
Today, we are in a unique situation. One of our major sources of funding, the Thrift Store, was moved, making way for 7 new low-income apartments. The store was moved into an adjacent space with much less room. The reduction in the store size resulted in less products to sell and subsequently less income to distribute directly to those in need or to assistance programs.
 
It is our goal to build a new, larger Thrift Store on land that we have already obtained. This store will continue to use its proceeds to help the poor and needy for years to come. We are asking that you will become a part of this endeavor. Please prayerfully consider a gift to St. Vincent de Paul. What better time than during this Lenten season - a time of Fasting, Charity and Prayer.
