** THE RESULTS ARE IN **

SVdP Drive-Thru Drop-Off Donation Events 

January 26, 2021

On behalf of the Saint John’s Saint Vincent de Paul Society, we thank you—the parishioners of the Chelmsford Catholic Collaborative—for your support of our recent “Drive-Through Drop-Off” Donation Event.  

Your charitable donations of food and financial support help us reach our goal of being able to provide food to families in our community, as well as purchase other necessary supplies needed. Your generosity resulted in an estimated $3,600 in food donations, and an additional $2,895 in monetary donations, including gift cards to local grocers. The SVdP Society could not do what it does without the generous support of a caring community.  Thank you again, for your thoughtful donations to help those in need who rely on us for help and services.

The SVdP, Who We Are : 

The Vincentian vocation of the Society’s members—referred to as Vincentians—is to follow Christ through service to those in need and so bear witness to His compassionate and liberating love. Members show their commitment through person to person contact.  Vincentians serve in hope.  

Peace & God’s Blessings From the Vincentians of Saint John’s Parish

The success of the FIRST Drive-Thru Drop-Off Donatiaon event, has spurred a second!

April 21, 2020

St. John’s St. Vincent de Paul chapter held its first event of this kind. Just like everyone else trying to roll with the changes, they tuned in to their creative energy and, not knowing what to expect, were blown away at the turn out and generosity of our parish communities. Four members tirelessly worked trying to keep up with the donations.

Our Chelmsford Catholic Collaborative went above and beyond to help those who need help, not only for our SVdP but to be able to share the donations with Catholic Charities. Check out this INSTAGRAM POST from Catholic Charities!

Donations received from the at least 50 vehicles that ‘drove-thru’ included… over $2,500 in food donations, $150 in grocery store gift cards and over $350 in cash/check donations! Thank you!
