St. Vincent DePaul recognizes volunteers

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Saint Michael Catholic Church in Marquette hosted the Saint Vincent DePaul volunteer award event Saturday.

The event honored more than 80 volunteers and celebrated all their accomplishments. One of those was the remodeling of the Saint Vincent DePaul thrift store.

The collaboration between the churches helped volunteers reach more people in need.

“So I’ve been volunteering with Saint Vincent DePaul for about 25 years working at the food pantry and then when I got retired I thought it was time to work at our parish level and directly help people through our parish,” Saint Michael Conference Member Maura Davenport said.

Organizers hope more volunteers continue to help out to keep Saint Vincent DePaul running for the years to come.
