Help us help others! Giving Tuesday

The season of giving thanks is upon us!  Many of us take things for granted in our lives, like having a meal to eat, or a warm place to sleep tonight.

Unfortunately, there are many individuals in our local communities that do not have this luxury.  In an effort to eradicate poverty, the National Council of the U.S. Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides resources and financial support to help individuals and families out of poverty.

In an effort to raise awareness and funds to help eradicate poverty, the Society will be participating in its 2nd Annual Giving Tuesday Campaign this year, on December 1, 2015.  There are two important ways that you can help this campaign.

The first way is to help raise awareness.  Please forward this email to your contact list, including family and friends.  Also, please take a moment to spread the word about Giving Tuesday on social media.  Let everyone know that Giving Tuesday is upon us!

The second way to support Giving Tuesday is by making a donation, and then asking your friends, family and everyone on social media to do the same.  To donate, please go to

To show our thanks for those making a personal donation, we will be sending all donors that give $50 or more a Christmas ornament.  This is a unique SVdP ornament (pictured at the top of this email).Thank you for generously supporting the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and God Bless!
