Almost exactly a year later, the parishioners at Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Bismarck and surrounding parish communities have accomplished the feat of collecting $150,000 in grocery receipts to take advantage of Spartan Nash's "Direct Your Dollars" program. Thanks to their contributions of their Dan's Supermarket receipts, Saint Vincent de Paul of Cathedral has received another $1000 check from Spartan Nash!
After a campaign spanning nearly a year, SVdP had finally collected enough receipts. On Tuesday, August 20th, Marci Loomis, President of SVdP Bismarck, and several SVdP volunteers were awarded the giant check for $1000 at Dan's Supermarket North in Bismarck.
The organization is funded completely through generous donations from the local community, and all of the money is spent locally to help the needy. SVdP Bismarck provides emergency assistance with food, rent, clothing, utilities, and other essential needs.
