SVdP provides financial support in for rent, utilities, food, etc. Each year, the organization’s members tabulate more than 1,000 home visits and help more than 2,000 families. The organization is completely volunteer and all funds generated help those right here in our community.

The show will also include the artwork of local artist Laura Pommier, the latest segment of WRASFF’s focus on visual arts.
