Heartfelt thanks to Filitalia Richmond Chapter and Joseph Elia, President, for sharing the joy of the season with Vincent’s Pantry at St. Michael Conference and the SVDP Westland Thrift Store.
During Filitalia's annual La Festa di Santa Lucia, on December 13, at La Vita e’ Bella Restaurant in Glen Allen, they collected Christmas candy and clothing donations that will brighten the holidays for our neighbors most in need.
Their generosity is a true reflection of the holiday spirit of giving!
Thanks to all the volunteers and everyone who purchased and donated toys so our neighbors can have a more joyous Christmas!
It was both a rewarding and fun event for everyone who participated!
During the past few months, the SVDP Richmond Council had 5 toy drives in our community, 33 registered families with 83 children, 2 shopping days, and 32 volunteers throughout the new program!

This past week, we gathered for our annual Friendsgiving dinner — a joyful evening of shared dishes, fellowship, and gratitude.
This tradition reflects our Vincentian mission: serving with humility, honoring one another’s gifts, and giving thanks for the blessings we share.
Thanks so much to everyone who attended the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul Walk at Saint Michael Roman Catholic Church!
We had a beautiful day and were truly blessed with 170 walkers, volunteers, parishioners, as well as donors and sponsors who participated in the event.
Our SVPD event was a success and raised over $45,000 to support our mission so we can further serve neighbors in our community.
As mentioned in the Richmond Biz Sense article, the grand opening of the SVDP Thrift store in the Westland Shopping Center on Parham Road is planned for October 4, 2025.
In addition to the Bon Air SVDP Thrift Store, this will be a great location for West Enders to bring future donated items in support of the SVDP mission.
Please share this exciting grand opening day with your friends, parishioners and neighbors!
