Dear St. Vincent’s Family,

As the year draws to a close, we reflect with gratitude on the kindness and generosity that have supported St. Vincent’s throughout 2024. This season, when love, family, and charity are at the forefront of our hearts, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your ongoing support. Your compassion has played a vital role in transforming the lives of families in our community, helping mothers and children build a brighter future together.

This holiday season, we humbly invite you to help us continue this important work. Your gift – no matter the size – directly impacts the lives of mothers and children in our Family Strengthening Program (FSP).

Since 1996, FSP has been a beacon of hope for struggling families. This 27-month, comprehensive program provides not only safe housing but also essential wraparound services, including counseling, job training, financial literacy, and life skills. These services empower mothers to break free from the constraints of poverty, create healthy family dynamics, and pursue educational and employment opportunities that lead to self-sufficiency. By helping these mothers, we’re investing in the long-term well-being of entire families.

As Christmas approaches, we ask for your continued support to uplift children and families in our community. Your generosity ensures that St. Vincent’s can provide life-changing services for years to come. May you and your family experience peace, joy, and blessings this holiday season. Thank you for making a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Gratefully,
