As we enter the sacred season of Lent, we seek to imitate Christ by freeing ourselves of unnecessary attachments, praying and fasting, and almsgiving—opening our hearts to those most in need.

 

Many neighbors in the Galveston-Houston are hungry. They simply don’t have enough to pay the bills and put food on the table.

​

Your Lenten gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Galveston-Houston (SVdP Houston) is a beautiful way to share our abundance with our neighbors in need. Your almsgiving recognizes Christ in our suffering neighbors.

​

As you know, so many people in our community live with zero margin for error. Almost half of Harris County doesn’t have an extra $400 saved for an emergency.

 

One accident, one emergency room visit, one hurricane can throw their lives into total disarray. A setback means not making rent, having utilities cut off, and having to choose between going hungry and losing their home.

 

By making a sacrificial gift this Lent, you bring Christ’s light into the darkness of poverty and despair. You offer friendship and service to those most in need.
