In October and November SVdP handled 43 families directly impacting the lives of 126 people. We collected fewer funds than were distributed, leaving us in the red. We were able to help people with gas; emergency shelter-motel; rent; utilities, electricity, propane and water; food, sleeping bag and camping gear for homeless. We appreciate your faithful generosity that enables us to help those families in need especially in this cold weather. We pray Jesus’ words, “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me.” (Collected and distributed fund amounts redacted per diocesan on-line policy.)
