Help Frank and Kathy Raise Funds for St. Gerald St. Vincent de Paul

Kathy Gariepy is raising money for Society of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit

19th Annual Friends of the Poor Walk · 19 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Walk through the beautiful paths of Belle Isle and support the mission of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit! All donations go towards our 112 local Conferences working directly to assist neighbors in need throughout Southeast Michigan.

Story

In the last year, we helped a young family of five with a mortgage payment after a parent passed away suddenly, we restored electricity for a senior citizen and his disabled son who had been sweltering in 90+ degree heat for two weeks, and we assisted a mom working two jobs to get caught up on her trailer rent. Our efforts would not be possible without your support for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. All gifts directly help our St. Gerald Conference serve those in need - offering hope, compassion, and real support to the poor, homeless, and others experiencing hardship in our community. Christ reminds us that “whatsoever you do for the least of these, you do for me”. Your support is a powerful reflection of that calling, and we are truly grateful. Please make a donation today to support our work in the community. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness!
