On behalf of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, we would like to thank all parishioners for supporting our local community through the efforts of our volunteers. From October 2007 through September 2008 our Society and case workers visited and helped 176 families for a total of 416 people. Additionally, your contributions helped support our needy parishioners as follows:

$7, 607 = Food Expenses (purchase of food for pantry and food certificates for client cases).
$5,054 = Medical expenses (medical bills, surgery and medical equipment).
$890 = Furniture and household items (mattresses and frames).
$65,263 Housing expenses (rent or mortgage).
$1,944 = Temporary Lodging (Temporary Stay Suites).
$4,421 = Transportation (car repairs and expenses).
$28,034 = Utilities (gas, electric, water)
$5,020 = Food Sunday (Thanksgiving).
$2,216 = Share-a-family (certificates and gift cards).

During this same period, the operation of our Thrift Store was made possible through the work of 126 volunteers. They provided a total of 6,465 volunteer hours. The store also provided assistance to 135 families with free merchandise and to 196 walk-ins families with food from our pantry.

Through the year we have received many cards and letters from those that have been helped expressing their gratitude. Your support does make a difference!

 

God bless you for your continued support:

The St John Neumann Conference of the St Vincent de Paul Society
