What happens
when you need a Friend and there's no one there?
Having no one to turn to in a
moment of need is a trying experience for anyone, but especially
for the poor. Are you willing to be a friend of the poor?
For nearly two centuries, the poor
and needy of the world have found a friend in the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul. This year, on September 25th, the
Society will hold its third annual nationwide Friends of the
Poor® Walk to celebrate 177 years of service to those in need.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
encourages all members and their families, friends and neighbors
to participate in the Friends of the Poor® Walk on the De Paul
University campus neighborhood – as walkers, pledgers,
volunteers, or all three. To register as a walker, to pledge
support for a walker, or for more information, go to
www.svdpfriendsofthepoorwalk.org. To volunteer, call
312-655-7181.

3D:
Don’t Dump - Donate!
Everyone’s jumping on the
3-D band-wagon: Disney, Hollywood, Hugh Hefner’s Playboy
– and so is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul! Puzzled?
Don’t be!
The Society of St. Vincent
de Paul in Chicago is launching their 3-D: “Don’t Dump
– Donate!” campaign. If you’ve been procrastinating
replacing your dining room, living room, bedroom or
kitchen furniture because you don’t want the hassle of
putting an ad in the paper or Craig’s list
or hauling the furniture out
of the room yourself, just dial 773-779-6700
and you’ll be able to schedule a pick up. Your gently
used furniture will then be taken to one of the two
thrift stores that the Society operates for resale.
Shoppers these days are looking for good used furniture
and good bargains. The thrift stores provide both.
In this challenging
economic environment, more and more people are turning to
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul for help. So, “save
your back” and make the call. You can make a big
difference in someone’s life.
Helping
those in need in our community! |
