Pew Envelopes
October Pew Envelopes Benefit the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Facing the perilous predicament of eviction or foreclosure or losing gas or electric service can turn a family’s world upside down. The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul not only provides financial assistance to help in a crisis but also a much needed “hands up” of hope to those who have fallen behind on their financial obligations.
Trained volunteers comprised of members of local churches, including Trinity, answer calls, determine what’s needed and go on home visits to meet with families to discuss their financial issues and work out the best way to resolve their current problems. The goal of Saint Vincent de Paul is to help get people “back on their feet” and alleviate stress by paying the “essentials ” like utilities, the mortgage or rent directly to the provider.
With your “Pew envelope” donations, you can help the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul help our neighbors in need keep their lights on and their homes warm this winter season.
Donations can be dropped off at the office, made through the Trinity website on the Outreach web page or use the QR code. Please note “St Vincent de Paul” on your donation. Thank you for your support of Trinity’s Community Outreach.
