An intricial part of our activities were the home visits. In 2020 there were 203 home visits with 144 adults and 55 children being cared for. The cost of this activity was $ 9791.87 and the volunteer hours were 281. The S.S.V.P. van is used to pick up groceries for the food bank on Fridays and the total hours for this service was 90.5. Meetings, Training and Organizational activities accumulated a total of 562 hours. We bought food for Mary’s Kitchen for a six-month period, but it was open for only three months. The remainder of the food was delivered to Mr. Wilsons store on Humber Road and he distributed the remainder of the food from his location at no cost to S.S.V.P. 2020 has been a year of great disaster and great suffering to many people. It has been a pleasure for the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to be a part of bringing some light to the dark world of the needy. It has been a pleasure to witness the delight that helping the needy brings to both the recipient and the messenger. We are hoping that the pandemic will either pass or it will be feasible to live with it without too much danger. We will continue to do our best to promote the ideals of the Society and to help all who ask. Thank you for all your support. S.S.V.P. Members. Keep Safe |
