The Friends of the Poor® Walk/Run began as a national program with the purpose of providing local Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) Conferences and Councils the additional funds to help support their special work projects. Today, that philosophy continues, with Conferences and Councils using the funds from this event to help local people living in poverty.

In 2015, the Friends of the Poor ® Walk/Run attracted over 28,000 walkers, raised over $2.9 million, and had events at 240 different locations across the United States.

The Friends of the Poor® Walk/Run is a national event coordinated by the Development Team at the National Council of the United States Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
