Holy Name Parish-St. Vincent de Paul-Friends of the Poor Walk
About this race
Day after day, many people in our very own community struggle to make ends meet. To help with this, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Holy Name Conference, is helping individuals and families in our community. Every day, SVdP volunteers work with families to provide emergency food, help keep the lights on, and avoid eviction. SVdP volunteers continuously work to provide individuals and families with assistance regardless of religion, race, or national origin.
The Friends of the Poor® Walk is a national special event that was started eleven years ago to raise awareness and funds for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We will be joining hundreds of other Friends of the Poor® Walks across the United States in an effort to eradicate poverty.
Will you please consider becoming a sponsor for our Annual Friends of the Poor® Walk scheduled for Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 1:00PM?
The Holy Name SVdP Society will be hosting a BBQ outside the parish after the walk.
