New Seasons Market on Lombard is having their “Hunger Relief Match” for an entire week this year! In the past, we have been fortunate to have the “Match” go for a weekend, but their generosity is even greater this year. We are truly grateful.
So, get over to the Market before May 25th to help the Holy Cross St. Vincent de Paul Conference. Our Conference is New Seasons’ “hunger partner” and the Market is going to match, dollar for dollar, every contribution made – up to $2,000. You can make an outright and direct contribution or “round up” your cost for any purchases made during the matching period. Obviously, this is a great opportunity to “make money” by virtue of New Seasons’ matching funds. Be sure to thank them for their kindness to SVdP and our Food Pantry.
Let us pray. “Lord, you have made us witnesses of the Gospel, full of wonder at the mystery of your love. You inspire us to alleviate poverty and injustice and endow us with untiring generosity in the service of all who are hungry and suffering. You have given us St. Vincent de Paul’s spirit of love, boldness, and humility. We thank you Lord, for your many gifts to us and our community and we ask that you continue to bless our work here in North Portland. May our parish, our St. Vincent de Paul Conference, and the whole Church proclaim your goodness and your holiness and provide light for our neighborhood and our world! We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
