Make a New Year’s resolution to help the community alongside SVdP!
The new year has finally come and its time to make a difference!
New Year’s resolutions are a great way to reflect on the previous year and set goals for the upcoming year. Often you hear of resolutions that focus on personal self-improvement, whether it is challenging yourself to lead a healthier lifestyle, saving more money or taking up a new hobby. But St. Vincent de Paul hopes you might consider making a resolution to help your community this year in addition to any personal resolutions you make. Might you consider putting some of those fresh-start, new-year intentions toward helping other people in need?
SVdP invites you to take the leap and try it! We have so many opportunities to volunteer and give that we hope you’ll make SVdP part of your community-minded New Year’s resolution. We already have many of our volunteers, guests and community members on board. Read some of their community-minded and personal resolutions below.
