A year or so later, we visit again, do not see the furniture and are told, “I gave it to someone else who needed it more than me.” Won’t you join us in this grace-filled ministry to the poor in our parish? Please stop by the SVdP table at the Ministries Fair today to learn more about what Vincentians do and how we put your dollars to work to help our neighbors in need!
