The monies raised will help us continue to carry out the mission of our founder, and provide much needed assistance to the most vulnerable in our area.
Executive Director Michael Bourg addressing Gala attendees
We are thankful to have 500 volunteers who help us serve our neighbors in need. It was a difficult task choosing three Vincentians to recognize for their hard work and dedication. Congratulations again to Ethel Fazande, Dr. Foster Hebert and Laura Drewes-our 2023 award recipients.
Executive Director Michael Bourg extends thanks and appreciation to Emcee Norman Robinson
We thank SVdP members, family, friends and supporters who joined us for the 2023 Love & Service Awards Gala and we look forward to next year!
In the Spirit of Love and Service!
