St. Vincent de Paul

Today our dining room was filled with vibrancy, devotion, and love as we celebrated Juneteenth in partnership with Xavier Walker, a SVdP volunteer and founder of X Marks the Spot Consulting. With his support and sponsorship from the Black Philanthropy Arizona and Arizona Community Foundation, our dining room was able to be converted into a space full of celebration and meaningful conversations.

We heard from empowering guest speakers such as Jerry McPherson, executive director at the Governor’s office of African-American Affairs, Dr. Matthew C. Whitaker executive director at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center, and Pastor Terry E. Mackey.

A big thank you to our Head Chef Chris Hoffman for making a delicious and special breakfast. Thank you to everyone in attendance. We were grateful to welcome you to our campus to reflect, celebrate, and connect with one another.
