The Society of St. Vincent de Paul partnered with GE Appliances on July 26 for a morning of service. Approximately 30 GE employees refreshed the Family Success Center’s playground with fresh paint and new mulch. The playground is used by the families who live on-site, as well as for after-school and summer programming.

Siobhaf Huner, a native of Illinois participating in GE’s co-op program this summer, serves as the co-chair of the co-op volunteer committee. “It’s been really cool to see it all come together,” said Huner.

Pam Evans, director of development for the society, said volunteers are “critical partners” in St. Vincent de Paul’s mission to “house, feed, and support those in need with compassion and dignity.” St. Vincent de Paul is also seeking volunteers in the following ministries: Open Hand Kitchen, food pantry, thrift stores, youth engagement, campus beautification and more. To volunteer or create a custom opportunity for individuals or a group, contact Bex Willenbrink at 301-8695 or rwillenbrink@svdplou.org.
