ALL ABOUT MOM
2nd Graders Answer Questions About Their Moms
“What ingredients are mothers made of?”
1) God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair
and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2) They had to get their start from men’s bones.
Then they mostly use string, I think.

As reported by
Danica Craig is the first to admit she
was not looking for a new career. But
when the job offer came, seemingly out
of nowhere, she jumped at it. “I had an
old friend who knew me growing up in
church and she hadn’t seen me in years,”

St. Vincent de Paul
Danica recalls. “But she reached out to
me and said, ‘There is a job available
and I think you would be perfect for it.’
I have a background in social work and
helping people, so it ended up working
out and I got the job.”
The job, as it turns out, is that of
manager of St. Vincent De Paul Sarnia-
Lambton and Danica has held the
position since June 2022. Not to be
confused by the two thrift stores that
operate in Sarnia, Danica’s St. Vincent
De Paul is strictly a food bank and
help centre. According to its website,
St. Vincent De Paul is an international
Catholic lay organization founded by
Frederic Ozanam in 1833 and established
in Canada in 1846. There are currently
about one million Vincentians serving
the poor in 134 countries worldwide.
“I love, love, love seeing people from
all walks of life who are in need, and
being able to help and support them
throughout the day is what I live for,”
Danica says. “That is my passion; my
favourite thing to do, so it’s lovely that
I get the opportunity to do that with
St. Vincent De Paul. I don’t always get
the opportunity to work with people,
but when I do, it’s wonderful. My goal
is simply to help people. My number
one thing is being able to help people in
some way, shape or form.”
Statistics show more people are
relying on food banks than ever before.
“We handle donations every day,”
Danica says. “We give (tax) receipts
to those who need them, and we deal
with rent, utilities, and dental as well.
Once upon a time, food banks used to
be attended mostly by single-parent
households, but that has changed. Now
food banks are attended by working
families who are just trying to bridge
the gap as they live from one paycheck
to another. We are also seeing a lot
of homelessness, too, and a lot more
people suffering from addictions
coming to use our services.”
Among the food items St. Vincent
De Paul requests from donors are fresh
and frozen meat and lunch meats,
fresh and frozen and canned fruits and
vegetables, milk, yogurt, cheese, pasta
sauce, mac and cheese dinners, cereal
and oatmeal, juice boxes, coffee, tea,
brown beans, rice, and eggs. Personal
items such as shampoo and conditioner,
toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap,
body wash, deodorant, razors, shaving
cream, women’s hygiene products,
toilet paper, socks and underwear are
also appreciated. St. Vincent also does
a lot of fundraising and mostly leans on
volunteers to organize the events.
While Danica doesn’t know what her
future holds, she is thrilled to be able
to help people through her work. “This
job is amazing for me. I hope I can stay
here forever.”
