St. Vincent’s thanks donors

The St Vincent de Paul Mission is to provide material and spiritual charity and to work for social justice for all. To that end, through generous monetary and material donations to the Thrift Store, St. Vincent’s was able to provide over $47,000 in food, rent, utility, medical and transportation assistance to folks in need. It currently owns and manages a 25 room homeless shelter, 29 affordable housing units and manages several other low-income housing units. It distributed 560 food baskets for the holidays and 125 Christmas gifts for children this past year. This work of social and material justice is at the hands of you, the donors. Thank you.

Please join us to walk in solidarity with the poor on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 10 a.m. at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, or see us on the web at svdpjuneau.org. The mailing address is 8617 Teal Street, Juneau, AK 99801.
