The Saint Vincent de Paul Society of Muncie organized a Christmas Adoption program for the Muncie community.  Parishioners from all three Muncie parishes adopted families in need and provided food, gifts, blankets, and winter wear. Materials about the Muncie parishes and miraculous medals were distributed to the recipients. There were 68 families helped.  There were close to 50 volunteers over two days from all three parishes.  These volunteers helped unload and load cars, organized the food and gifts from donors, and distributed the extra donated gifts to all of the families.  SVDP would like to thank the 4th grade class at St. Mary for carrying over the blankets. Additionally, they would like to thank the St. Mary youth group with helping with the event.  All volunteers were helpful and much needed for everything to run smoothly. The recipient families greatly appreciate the effort and the items.  Some of them were brought to tears because of the generosity that was shown.  A difference was truly made in their lives.
