HOUSEHOLD GOODS DONATION DRIVE

On Saturday, June 6th, Household Goods of Acton held a donation drive in the parking lot of St. Camillus Church.  This organization provides a full range of donated furniture and household items, free of charge, to help people in need make a home.  This mission was co-sponsored by our SVDP conference and the Women’s Alliance of First Parish UU.  There was a tremendous outpouring of support from members of both churches as well as the community at large.  We hope that this example of interfaith cooperation in serving our neighbors will inspire more such events in the future!

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.
