On Saturday, September 25th from 9:00 a.m. - noon the St,. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul sponsored the 2021 Friends of the Poor Walk. Although the forecast for the day was not great, according to Nancy Schoen, one of the organizers of the event,  "we ended up having a perfect morning for the walk."

"This year the SVdP group was thrilled to have more than 140 people participate in the walk. It was heartwarming to see so many students participate this year," said Schoen. The Friends of the Poor Walk is the only formal fundraiser that the St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul Society holds each year. One hundred percent of the money raised goes directly back into the community to help anyone in need. Last year the SVdP assisted 345 families, according to Schoen.

Schoen said the St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank all who participated in the walk or who donated to this worthy cause.
