Ralph May, Executive Director from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of SW Idaho, joins Morning Light today with a recap of the Thanksgiving Food Box giveaway which fed 6,473 neighbors! However, it took 787 volunteers and 2,503 hours of service to make it possible. Over 6,000 children will receive Christmas gifts through the Christmas Toy Store program. Next week is Cookies for Corrections as over 150 volunteers disperse cookies to 6 prisons out at the Idaho State Correctional Complex in south Boise. Finally, the Statewide fundraising challenge known as "Avenues for Hope" is happening NOW! Funds raised support SVdP Home Visits which helped 8,016 neighbors in 2024 so please help if you can - learn more at www.svdpid.org
