Since 2008, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s annual Friends of the Poor Walk has raised more than $27 million to help neighbors in need in communities across the country.
Each year, SVdP Conferences and Councils host the FOP Walk to raise funds and awareness for the Society’s work serving neighbors in need.
All funds raised benefit neighbors in need in communities across the country. Thank you to everyone who supports the Friends of the Poor Walk, including every walk coordinator, walker, corporate sponsor, and donor. You are making a difference for those living in poverty!
The National Friends of the Poor Walk date this year is Saturday, September 21, 2024.
