Good Deeds Day at St. Vincent
de Paul on April 23, spending the
day schlepping mattresses from
a hot storage trailer, cleaning
and disinfecting them, and then
putting them back in storage. In
addition to serving hundreds of
meals each day, St. Vincent de
Paul houses hundreds of home-
less in their dining room at the
Human Services Campus.
