Organiser's description
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) conference of St. Helen Catholic Church, Georgetown, Texas, relies on generous donations from St. Helen parishioners, community sponsors, and the Friends of the Poor Walk to serve families in need in our community through scheduled home visits. Your donations will enable us to raise additional funds so we can help those calling for financial assistance. They have many needs, the largest of which is rent, utilities and food. Reasons for this assistance may be they have been unable to work due to illness, experiencing lost/reduced work hours or had an unexpected expense. We invite you to take part in the Walk to make a positive impact in our community.

Closing and final prayer at 10:30am. Refreshments will be provided during the event. There are two walking routes available: one is 1.2 miles long and the other is 1.5 miles long. You are welcome to walk either route or both. If you're unable to attend the walk, you can still show your support in spirit (Walking is not required.)
