Calling All Blankets

The St. Vincent de Paul Conference from Queen of All Saints in Oakville supports the many homeless services at St. Vincent's Church in Soulard.

Over the last cold spell, one of their clients froze to death. The worker's at St. Vincent's are saddened as they lacked blankets and sleeping bags for the poor that come begging for food and clothing. 

Tom Knese, President of The St. Vincent Conference at QAS is making an appeal for blankets and sleeping bags for the poor that must spend the long and cold winter nights under overpasses or in abandoned buildings.
