St. Vincent de Paul Receives $2M Donation for Homeless Youth

Two million dollars have been donated to Saint Vincent de Paul in the largest donation that the organization has ever received.

The money was donated by a Eugene IT software company, CBT Nuggets, to fund a youth home for homeless teenage boys.

According to St. Vincent de Paul's Executive Director Terry McDonald, about 600 kids are experiencing homelessness today in this area.

"If you can image yourself being in high school, trying to keep your grades up and having now real place to call home, it's got to be difficult," said McDonald.
