The holiday season is when the spirit moves many people to make donations. Our shelters, however, need support all year-’round. This is why the St. Vincent de Paul Christmas in July Donation Drive is so important. It’s a time to replenish our shelves during the leaner months while Santa takes a break. The need is real and your help is very much appreciated. We hope you will be someone’s Santa this summer!
