We collaborate with 15-20 social service agencies in the area and provide a follow-up visit to our neighbors with a Blessing Bag visit. The Blessing Bag consists of items they cannot buy with their Bridge Cards (food stamps) such as diapers, kitchen supplies, towels, and other personal hygiene products. Currently, we give about $7,500 per month in aid and another $1,500 in Blessing Bag assistance. We always need more teams to go on the home visits or to work behind the scenes.

We are very grateful for you helping us in our time of need. I am now in our new home and the supplies are just what we needed to make it through. Again, thank you so much for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI enjoy delivering bags to people in need. I make phone calls to the people to schedule when to visit. It is during this time that sometimes a person might share a bit of his or her story. I am humbled and honored to help reach out to give that little extra bit to help them out. I have found that the people receiving the Blessing Bags have been grateful. It is a joy-filled service.\u201d<br>\u2014 SVDP Volunteer Linda Campbell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donate to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make a donation to the work we do by visiting the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/giving.parishsoft.com\/app\/giving\/stthomasannarbor\">St. Thomas online donation portal<\/a>&nbsp;and selecting \u201cSt. Vincent de Paul\u201d from the fund dropdown menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20240311_141553-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20240311_141553-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20240311_141553-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20240311_141553-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20240311_141553-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20240311_141553-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Ozanam-Celebration-2024-1024x729.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Ozanam-Celebration-2024-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Ozanam-Celebration-2024-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Ozanam-Celebration-2024-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Ozanam-Celebration-2024-1536x1094.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sta2.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Ozanam-Celebration-2024-2048x1458.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Quarterly Newsletters: What Does the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Do?
