Event Description

Each year, Conferences and Councils of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul host the Friends of the Poor® Walk, which raises funds and awareness for the Society’s work serving people living in poverty. Since 2008, the FOP Walk® has raised more than $27 million for those in need across the country.

Thank you to everyone who supports the Friends of the Poor® Walk – including every walk coordinator, participant, corporate sponsor, and donor. You are making a difference for those living in poverty!

The 2026 National Friends of the Poor® Walk annual date is Saturday, September 26th, 2026 – St. Vincent de Paul’s Feast Day.
