🙌🏻 Thank you to all who supported St. Vincent de Paul Richmond’s Night of Hope Gala on Friday!

🥳 231 guests came together for this special evening at the Jefferson Hotel Richmond, as we honored His Excellency, Bishop Knestout, of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond.

👏🏻 Due to the generosity of our sponsors and donors, we raised $215,000, in our efforts to prevent homelessness. This was by far our most successful Gala yet!

😊 Special thanks to our volunteers and staff, who made this a success.

🥳 Colleen was presented with our May Volunteer of the Month award this morning, at St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store at Westland, where she was working the register, as she so often does!

☺️ Colleen volunteers multiple days a week, brings friends to volunteer, shares joyfully about our mission, happily helps and greets customers, and is always willing to pitch in to help in other ways!

🙌🏻 Thank you to Colleen, who gives so much of her time to our Westland location, in addition to all the other work she does for St. Vincent de Paul. We can’t do this work without amazing volunteers like Colleen.

☺️ This weekend was the Society of St. Vincent de Paul USA’s Mid-Atlantic Meeting.

🌟 St. Vincent de Paul Richmond was well represented, by four of our Conferences and the Council. Conferences who made the trip included St. Teresa, Sacred Heart, St. Matthew, and Society of Saint Vincent De Paul-St. Michael's Conference.

📍 The Conference was held at The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Maryland this year, which is a meaningful site for Vincentians.

🙌🏻 We appreciate the time and work of the group from the SVdP National Staff and Board of Directors, who helped plan the event and those who gave talks. It’s always a great way to meet Vincentians across our region and discuss the work we all do to help our neighbors in need!
