"Facing a pile of unusable donated clothing, torn and stained,Vincentian Help Desk Director, Sally Rosen began to think of recycling, imagining how these discarded garments could be remade into something new and useful. Her thoughts were familiar, for every day, the St. Vincent de Paul Society touches the lives of a thousand poor men and women who too often have been treated like worn out clothes, cast aside and considered unnecessary. Treating them with dignity and respect, working with them one-on-one letting them know they are valued, we help them begin to transform their lives no matter where they stand in their life's journey."
