St. Margaret of York – St. Vincent de Paul Conference
NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS
The current Covid-19 virus has resulted in severe concerns for many of our neighbors. Reduced work hours, layoffs from work, low food supplies, reduced income to buy food and pay needed bills affect many of our clients. Our SvDP conference has been helping others for over 14 years. We are able to provide this outreach support because of the donations of our parishioners.
SMOY SvDP provides limited financial support and limited food items to those in need. Our conference team makes assessments of the client’s needs who call into our helpline and then makes efforts to help these clients where possible.
With the canceled liturgical services for the near future and the altered work habits of many, the donations we normally get may be severely reduced. There will be no 5th Sunday Mass this month where we collect for SvDP, and the level of contributions may be reduced.
The SvDP is asking all parishioners to remember the needs of others by continuing to donate to our conference. You may use your 5th Sunday SVDP envelopes or any means of donating. Please send your donations to the Parish Office to the attention of SvDP. Your donations make our support possible by providing assistance to those who may no other sources of help.
May God continue to bless you; may He continue to protect you and keep you in His mercy.
