Raffle Alert: It’s Back and Bigger Than Ever!

St. Vincent de Paul Place is turning the month of May into a daily celebration with 31 incredible prizes and 31 chances to win. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses and community friends, one amazing prize will be raffled off every day at 2 p.m.

This exciting fundraiser is more than just a chance to win. It is also a chance to make a real difference in the lives of those who need help most.

Why It Matters

As benefits continue to shrink, more seniors, individuals, and working families are struggling with rising rent, food, and energy costs.

At St. Vincent de Paul Place, there has been a sharp increase in requests for food, hygiene items, social services, healthcare, and other essentials. Every ticket purchased helps support this growing need and brings hope to people right here in our community.

Get your tickets before they run out for a chance to win big while helping others in a meaningful way.
