Sanford's 18th Annual Friends of the Poor Walk Set for March 28

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul's All Souls Conference is bringing its Friends of the Poor Walk back to Sanford for the 18th consecutive year, with the event set for Saturday, March 28, 2026.

The annual walk is organized to raise both funds and awareness for local assistance programs served by the All Souls Conference, the Sanford-area chapter of the international Catholic charitable organization. Now in its 18th year, the walk has become a fixture on the Sanford community calendar, reflecting nearly two decades of organized grassroots fundraising for neighbors in need.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul operates through local conferences like the All Souls chapter to provide direct assistance to individuals and families facing hardship. The Friends of the Poor Walk is one of the organization's signature national fundraising efforts, adapted at the local level to support programs specific to the communities where each conference operates.

With March 28 approaching, residents interested in participating or supporting the All Souls Conference's efforts can reach out to the organization directly for registration and donation details ahead of the Saturday event.
