The Saint Vincent de Paul Society held its annual "Walk for the Poor" on a beautiful Saturday morning, September 24, 2001. Nearly 100 people, including some brother Knights, gathered at St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic church where they dropped off donated food items and listened to brief comments from the manager of the local St. Vincent de Paul store and Sierra Vista Mayor Rick Mueller who read a proclamation by the City dedicating the day as "March for the Poor Day". Most of the attendees also joined in for the walk from the church to the store.
