​​St. Vincent de Paul, OLA Conference

We are incredibly grateful to Father Jack for blessing our walk and to Woodbridge District Supervisor Jeannie LaCroix for her support of our community and this special event. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our walkers, donors, sponsors, volunteers, parish communities, local businesses, and everyone who helped make this year's Friends of the Poor Walk a success.


The Friends of the Poor Walk is about more than walking together. It is about coming together as a community to support our neighbors in need and to remind those facing difficult times that they are not alone.


Thank you for walking with us, supporting our mission, and helping us make a difference!
