MADISON — The Madison Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) Youth Service Council (YSC) recently sent more than $1,000 to St. Vincent de Paul-Lebanon to assist the poor, unemployed, and refugees there.
While attending a national St. Vincent de Paul meeting in Providence, R.I., last fall, YSC members Claire Finucane and DC Morris heard Julien Spiewak, the society’s international secretary general, outline the struggles the country of Lebanon currently faces and how the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is trying to help.
The SVdP has been active in Lebanon since 1860 but has recently faced greater challenges than usual.
MADISON — “This is a place where you’ll make a difference.”
Those are bold words coming from Edgewood High School junior DC Morris, but they are true.
Morris, along with 21 other teens, makes up the St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) Youth Service Council.
Nearly two years ago, the society’s District Council of Madison formed the council consisting of high school students who serve as representatives for their home parishes or schools.
MADISON — On a cold night, not much beats a warm blanket.

The society’s blanket drive annually collects donations of several thousand new and gently used blankets, as well as other bedding, that St. Vincent de Paul then gives away all year long to low-income households lacking these items.
