The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago Announces $2,000 Giving Tuesday Match
Give Hope a Home. Because Everyone Deserves One.

Chicago, IL — The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago (SVdP Chicago) is preparing for Giving Tuesday (December 2) with a special fundraising initiative: a $2,000 matching gift challenge.
A local donor has pledged to match contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to $2,000, through this Friday, November 28. The campaign aims to encourage community members to maximize their impact during the global day of giving.
“This match means every dollar donated will be doubled, helping us reach more people in need in Cook and Lake Counties,” the organization said in a statement.
