How does the process work for the family needing assistance?

Families need to be referred by a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Call (812) 425-3485 to request a referral. Information and a copy of the completed voucher will be mailed or emailed (if applicable) to the participating family.

Shopping days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, December 13-15, 2022. Parents are asked to contribute 25¢ per child. Each child receives some significant type of gift along with stocking stuffers, games, puzzles and winter hats and gloves.
