Many Thanks to Many People

We owe a debt of gratitude to many people. Here is where we will spotlight their generosity.

Annual Bag Sale, August 6/7 2010

Thanks to an amazing turnout we surpased last year's gross receipts for our most profitable bag sale to day.

Men's Clothing Drive, June 25/26

SVDP is very appreciative for the men's clothing that was donated by St. Thomas Parishioners on June 26th & 27th.  We always have a need for men's clothing and shoes, especially in XL, XXL & XXXL  sizes in clothing and  larger than a size 11 in shoes.  But, we're happy to have all sizes of men's goods! If you didn't get a chance to make a donation this past weekend,  you can still clean out your closets and drop your donation at the store or in our Blue Bin in the St. Thomas parking lot. 
Don't let the orange barrels fool you, it looks worse than it is!!

There's a special place in the heart of SVDP for Joe and Jonathan who own the Big Boy Restaurant (located on Plymouth Road at US 23).  You guys and your real wait staff were terrific as well as instrumental in making it all happen.

When you go to the Big Boy on Plymouth Rd (near US23) in Ann Arbor let them know you're from St Vincent de Paul or St. Thomas and thank them again for their generosity and friendship.
