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 26th, the Society will hold its second annual nationwide Friends of the Poor 5K Walk. We invite you to participate and become Friends of the Poor, too. Pledges made on behalf of registered walkers in a given community will benefit those most in need in that same community.
To register as a walker, to pledge support for a walker, volunteer, or for more information, go to www.svdpfriendsofthepoorwalk.org. To volunteer, use the local contact information below.
Please join us. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes and find out how good it feels to give.
