Day 26: Clothes for St. Vincent de Paul

Hello it is Sophia. I just got back from donating our old clothes the St. Vincent de Paul organization. The SVDP (St. Vincent de Paul) is an organization that give person-to-person service for those in need. The members are called "Vincentians" and they believe that their gifts (time, talent, or treasure) can be shared to help others. The Vincentians are young, old, and any shade of skin color. Now-a-day, some 12 million people are helped anually by the Vincentians in the United States. I donated a mostly filled bag of clothes that went into a collection box in front of a store. This is one of many causes that we donate our old items to. To learn more about this organization, go to http://www.svdpusa.org/
