Benefit for the Poor
We are excited to announce our 21st Annual Benefit for the Poor theme: "Hand to Hand, Heart to Heart -- Neighbors Together Through Every Season."
This year's theme captures the spirit of Vincentian values that call on us to walk humbly alongside our neighbors in need, offering compassionate, person-to-person support with dignity and love through all of life's hardship.
