charitable giving, online volunteering In a sense, helping the lesser fortunate through volunteering time could be considered a form of charity donation. Many associate monetary offerings the only type of donation. Volunteering your time to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will not only make a difference in the lives of others but also yourself.

The summer is here and for the Valley that means an average temperature of 90 degrees. Now is a better time than ever to sign up for an online volunteering event at stvincentdepaul.net. Escaping the heat means supplying the homeless with water and shelter.

It is hard to imagine how hard life would be on the streets of Phoenix when the temperature at 4 pm is 105 degrees. Charitable giving is not a matter of filling the homeless’ stomachs during these hot months, it is a matter of life. Hydration is a constant fear of those living on the street. SVdP works hard to keep the lesser fortunate in good health but your help is needed. Any amount of time given to help others is worth it.
