Dear Lincoln neighbors,
Happy spring! The ongoing mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s Conference of Lincoln and Weston is to provide emergency financial assistance to individuals and families in our communities who live in dire need of food and financial assistance. We provide food to prevent hunger. We aid with financial support and location of resources to prevent homelessness or inability to meet even basic expenses. Our scholarship program makes it possible for people to become qualified to apply for better employment and change their financial instability. You may be surprised that SVdP supports about 250 people with our food pantry. The need is real. The only way SVdP can continue this vital work is by receiving donations.
On Tuesday, May 24 at 6 p.m., join our community to gather on the grass for music al fresco at Pierce Park. Suggested donation is $50 per person (or more!) You can sign up here or mail a check payable to St. Vincent de Paul to SVdP, PO Box 324, Lincoln, MA 01773. The Ogden Codman Trust is challenging SVdP to raise $15,000, which it will match. Help us reach our goal and support our work. Bring your own chair, beverages, and picnic. We will raffle great prizes. This is an evening to relax and enjoy music by Brian Moll, Mara Bonde, Sandra Piques Eddy, and the Kemp Harris Band.
Are you interested in becoming a sponsor of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston? For a donation of $1,000 or more, we will display your name or business logo (as your wish) with special thanks as a “Sponsor of SVdP” at the event, on our website, and on our Facebook page. Email svdplincolnweston@gmail.com for details.
Can’t join us that evening but still would like to support this important fundraising challenge? No problem — donate by clicking here and writing “Spring Concert” in the “additional notes” field upon check out.
Thank you for your generosity!
Peace and blessings,
Karen Salvucci (6 Stratford Way, Lincoln)
President, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston
