Share Your Good Fortune Via Holiday Joy
What's your holiday status? If you've got all you need and would prefer to share, take part in St. Vinnie's Holiday Joy Program. It matches people who can give with individuals and families who can't because they are low-income, have a disability, or are elderly and on a limited fixed income.
