“Do to others what you would have them do to you.” (Matthew 7:12)

When we hand out a cup of nourishing soup or a food parcel to someone who might otherwise go hungry, it’s not because we want to feel good about ourselves or bask in their gratitude.

It’s because we feel a connection, at the deepest level, to a fellow human being … another child of God.

We can understand how it must feel to be cold, hungry, afraid of what tomorrow might bring. Imagine how much kinder our world could be, if we all really lived our shared humanity. If we resolved to make sure that no one gets left behind.

All it takes is for every one of us to reach out and share a little of what we have with someone less fortunate.

This is the world in which we want to live. As St Vincentians, we strive to create ripples of love and solidary wherever we go. Join us! If not physically, then use us as the channel through which your kindness flows to those who need it most.

Your donation will be turned into food, clothing and comfort – delivered with love to a desperate person who feels worthless and invisible. Just one small act of kindness can make the day seem brighter and the future more helpful.

So please, will you act now to make sure no one is left behind today?
