Photos by Jodi Marlin Members of the Fort Wayne Society of St. Vincent de Paul, their families and friends head out from Parkview Field in downtown Fort Wayne Sept. 26 during the organization’s walk/run for the poor. Pledges supported those who walked and raised money for the society’s ministry to the poor or underserved within 23 parish-based conferences of the society. The annual fundraising event raises much of the money needed in order for the organization to provide food, clothing, rent and other assistance to those in need throughout the following year.
