EASTER MEAL PROJECT BRINGS JOY TO ARLINGTON FAMILIES

This Easter, our St. Vincent de Paul Conference volunteers came together to deliver care and kindness across our Arlington community. Thanks to the support of many hands and hearts, we successfully distributed 71 meals to local families.

We are deeply grateful for the prayers, time, and dedication of our volunteers and donors, each of whom played a vital role in making this effort a smooth and meaningful one. From assembling bags to navigating delivery routes, every task was done with care and love. And yes—only one small counting error on napkin packages (thankfully we had backups!). We were especially blessed with clear skies and sunshine—60-degree temperatures that lifted everyone’s spirits after a rainy clothing drive earlier this month.

Families receiving the meals were touched by the generosity and abundance of the packages, many of which were so full they needed a helping hand just to get them inside. Their heartfelt Easter wishes are extended to all of you who made this possible.

Wishing all of you a joyful and blessed Easter season.

SPRING CLOTHING DRIVE!

Saint Vincent de Paul (SVdP) Clothing Drive (April 2025)

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Arlington community and neighbors from surrounding towns, our recent St. Vincent de Paul Clothing Drive was a resounding success — even with the rainy, chilly weather!

We collected over 110 bags of clothing for the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in Woburn, the highest number we've ever received. What made this drive even more meaningful were the heartfelt stories shared by donors — each contribution came with a sense of purpose and compassion that truly moved us.

We also collected 60 packages (1,574 diapers!) for our Mary’s Cradle Ministry — ranging from Newborn to Size 7. These diapers will make a meaningful difference for families with young children in need.

Thank you all for showing what community and compassion look like in action!
