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/Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.
