Our youngest volunteer to date, Chloe, is seen below having a little fun imitating the tree art at the Vos home in Long Lake Township.  Chloe helped her dad and other volunteers pick up items from generous donations this past Saturday all about Grand Traverse County.  To build a strong foundation for the organization to last generations, it is important to get the kids involved.  Everyone had a great time.

 

Donation pick ups are available on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, typically in the morning from 9 to noon.  For more information, please call us at 231-947-8466.

Santa makes a rare appearance during the busy month of December to St. Vincent de Paul in Traverse City this past Wednesday to join the Blessing of the Building and Open House celebration.  As you can imagine, Santa was in big demand and we were only able to get one small photo of him, speaking with a young man from Kingsley.  Maybe someone else obtained some other photos that we can soon share.

Thanks Santa.  You helped make the celebration extra special!

Santa does what he does best...helping put smiles on the faces of little boys and girls.

A big “Thank You” to Father Bill Libscomb of Traverse City for conducting the blessing of the building, volunteers, employees, donors, visitors, shoppers and “the work” of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Traverse City this past Wednesday afternoon.  84 attendees enjoyed the ceremony, shared some good food and drink, toured the operation and enjoyed good conversation with friends, old and new.

Thank you all.  It was a huge success and the prayers and physical & financial support will help continue the upward trajectory and positive impact St. Vincent de Paul has on the lives of needy families in our community.

Our prayers and thoughts continue to be with Father Tony Cureton and his mother Savannah.  Father Cureton was hurriedly called to visit her and was unable to attend today’s celebration.
