Monday of Another Busy Week

It seems like each new week at St. Vincent de Paul Atlanta is as busy as the prior weeks.  No matter how often we think that things will slow down a little they just don't.  And that's both good and not so good. 

The downside is that it means we are continuing to deal with a huge need for our services and that means that there are still too many people in need.  The upside is that we are accomplishing much to address that need and we are improving the effectiveness and impact of your services.

Today the actual physical installation of the industrial refrigerator/freezer in our Family Support Center began.  Electrical work and site preparation are the first phases.  We also began processing 2000 pounds of food donated from a foods drive that was held at Mary Our Queen Catholic Church in Norcross, Georgia.

Following up on last weeks blog entry about the coat drive held by the 2nd grade at Holy Redeemer School; they ended up bringing in over 300 coats from that drive!  We had an 8th grade group of volunteers in here last week who sorted and hung all those coats so they can be distributed to people who need them.

The Thanksgiving Holiday is coming up and Christmas is just 6 weeks away.  This is the time of year when our help and support is critical to those who are suffering.  We may be busy each and every week, and it may never seem to get less busy, but we know that someone will have a better week than they did the week before as a result of work of our many amazing Vincentian volunteers and supporters.
