Fundraiser walk moves on despite weather

A weekend of intense weather did not stop attendees from coming out in the rain to help those in need.

Last Saturday, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Long Island, a catholic organization dedicated to helping those in need, hosted the fifteenth annual Friends of the Poor Walk at Cedar Creek Park in Seaford. Members from all over Long Island and their friends participated in the walk to raise money and raise awareness to help those living in poverty.

Attendees wore their raincoats and gathered their umbrellas to walk with their friends and families for a good cause. The money raised goes to help those who need assistance with rent, heating, electricity, food, paying bills and other living necessities.
