How You Can Support SVdP This Fall

The holidays are approaching, and we are gearing up to help make the season as bright as possible for our community. By supporting us in any of the following ways, you too will help make someone's holiday merry. 

1. Book Champions Catering for your holiday party. Champions Catering can collaborate with you to create a seasonal, festive menu for your holiday party for your coworkers, family, parish or friends. Their delicious desserts and satisfying entrees can satisfy any guest. To contact Champions Catering, visit svdp-alameda.org/catering, email [email protected], or call 1-510-681-3301. All proceeds from the catering program are used to fund the job training programs here at SVdP along with the other services we provide to those in need. 

2. Donate warm coats to our One Warm Coat Drive. 

3. Attend our Fall Fundraising Breakfast. Save the Date for our Fall Fundraising Breakfast on Friday, November 22 from 7:30-9:00 a.m. at Transfiguration Catholic Church – 4000 E. Castro Valley Blvd, Castro Valley, CA 94552. We welcome all community members, Vincentians, and friends to join us for a morning of delicious food, fellowship and first-hand accounts of the impact SVdP has on our community.
