Jan’s Journey of Vincentian Service from 2000 to retirement

Janice Singbeil wore many hats of service for OLOG Conference. As a founding member she helped form the conference back in 2000. Dispatching, food purchasing and storeroom maintenance were among her first roles of active duty.

Jan found her true niche within the Society, when18 years ago Social Services in Campbell River reached out to SSVP to provide basic household items for men temporarily sheltered in motel rooms. Kitchen and bathroom items were delivered in knapsacks and laundry baskets. This service was no longer required when the government purchased these motels and converted them into long term single occupancy units.

A few years later a presentation by a Social Worker on the work being done for women and children seeking safe shelter from domestic violence, called SSVP into action once again. After a parish appeal for household items, Jan became involved in the assembling of Start Up Kits, which were delivered to Ann Elmore House. Calls for kits began coming from Social Workers. The Campbell River Food Bank, Knights of Columbus, conference members and parishioners of St. Patrick’s provided most of the donations in these early years.

Jan’s work intensified upon the opening of a new, large shelter facility for women and children (Rose Harbour). Five kits were immediately delivered. Calls for kits increased. Donations increased. The demand for storage increased. Jan’s home soon filled up with donations and purchases. Jan’s husband Jim offered his assistance. Clients at Rose Harbour gave these kits a new name.... “Welcome Kits”

Ten years ago OLOG conference began funding the expenses of new items required for the kits. The Welcome Kits Program became official.

In 2023 SPARC BC’s “Welcome Home Program” provided Jan with funding, sufficient to cover the 15 kits prepared and delivered in 2023 and the 55 kits delivered in 2024. During this time the Good Lord sent Jan an angel named Kathi Barrett (retired Social Worker) to help with the increased workload.

Jan recently passed the torch to Kathi, and a newly formed team of members, who will carry on Jan’s work well into the future. She remains a Vincentian, and will serve as a mentor to the new team. Thank you Jan and God bless you.

THE BOTTLE DRIVE continues under the leadership of John McGillivary. The monies collected go to the parish account for the general needs of St. Patrick’s Church.

The entire bottle drive crew would like to thank all the St. Patrick’s Parishioners for their support.
