The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) of Lincoln and Weston would like to thank Katrin Roush and daughter Kyla Chapman for their very successful “flower project”! This mother-and-daughter duo sold flowers, tomatoes, and herbs from their own garden to benefit SVdP. Katrin explained that she wanted to support Kyla’s need to feel helpful and connected to others. They often buy food for the food pantry and the sales idea was “a combination of wanting her to see how she could help out other families, and to have gratitude” (see the Lincoln Squirrel, August 13, 2020).

But it’s the SVdP Food Pantry that’s feeling most grateful. It’s because of generous and thoughtful families like Katrin and Kyla that SVdP is able to do this very important work. Thank you for your support and dedication.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of St. Julia Parish works with people in need who live, work, or go to school in Lincoln or Weston. We serve more than 260 people from both towns twice a month at the food pantry located behind St. Joseph’s Church in Lincoln. SVdP also offers emergency financial assistance to help with bills, rent, etc.
If you or somebody you know is in need of food or emergency financial help, please call 781-899-2611 x4 or email svdplincolnweston@gmail.com. This is a challenging time for many, and although it can be difficult to ask for help, we are here to support. Everything is kept completely confidential.
