Vincent Anthony Sercia 1996 – 2023

Join Us in Honoring Vince on His Angelversary
1/19/2025

On January 19, 2025, we will be distributing 100 Vince Swag Bags at three different locations in Portland in collaboration with the Portland People’s Outreach Project. This cause was especially meaningful to Vince, who spent the final months of his life volunteering with this incredible organization.

Vince’s compassion and generosity continue to inspire us to help those in need of life’s most basic necessities. Through this effort, we hope to not only provide essential items but also share the love, smiles, and human connection that Vince embodied so beautifully.

Thank you, Vince, for showing us the power of kindness.

We’ve set up a wish list registry on Amazon for Vince’s Swag Bags. All items purchased from the registry will be delivered to a family friend’s home in Lake Oswego, just outside of Portland. This is where we’ll be assembling the bags.

All purchased items and cash donations are tax-deductible:

VINCE SWAG BAGS

“Our mission is to honor the legacy of Vince, who believed in the inherent dignity of every individual and dedicated his life to advocating for the marginalized.

Vince was an advocate for criminal justice reform, social justice, racial equality, LGBYQIA+, the decriminalization of drugs, and the de-stigmatization of mental health and substance use disorders.

Inspired by his compassion and dedication, we strive to provide essential support and connection to those in harm reduction and unhoused communities.

Through the provision of clothing, toiletries, food, and connection items, we aim to uplift individuals and families affected by substance use disorder and Fentanyl poisoning.

By extending kindness and tangible assistance, we honor Vince’s spirit of empathy and commitment to social justice, fostering a community where everyone is valued and supported.”

Kind Words

Hey Vince, I just wanted to reach out and say that I hope you’re doing good today man. My name is Oliver it’s nice to meet you. I had the pleasure of meeting your amazing mom today and got one of the bags she put together and gave out to the people down there in need or struggling with similar issues. After reading through the papers about your life I just thought I would shoot you a message and let you know how truly good and kind hearted of a person you must have been. I think we would have gotten a lot alike hearing your like-minded mentality to do good for others and the world. You and your mom both have amazing souls to have done and her still going such good deeds in the hope to have benefit for others lives around you the most and I just want to say I really appreciate what your doing and have much respect for it especially in the world we are in today. I wish I could have got to meet you Vince and I will have you in my thoughts for years after with the impact this kind deed did to me. Thank you so much for your positive and encouraging mindset you had and I imagine rubbed off on many people you were around or that actually did get to meet you in person!

Hi Vince! I met your beautiful mother the other day and she gave me this beautiful bag… It had so many wonderful things in it. One of them was this little card that had your phone number in it. I wanted to send you a text and let you know that your legacy lives on. I cried so much when I opened your bag and I continue to cry now. Not because I’m sad, but because I feel the pain your mother feels, I too have a son, he too has an addiction, it might be to just marijuana, but it is an addiction. You are the first person I’m telling about this. It worries me. I wear your bracelet and I won’t take it off. Thank you for everything that you’ve passed on through your mother… You are a special young man. Rest in love, sir…
