How we can Help
Deciding whether to pay your rent or buy groceries for your family is a position all too familiar. We focus on meeting basic human needs with an open heart, on a person-to-person basis.
Through our networking of dedicated volunteers and supporters, we provide food, clothing, and direct financial assistance to those in need, as well as aid to our neighbors as they reenter the community after serving time incarcerated.
We all hold the power to make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors. Without your generosity, our mission to assist those facing hardship would not be possible. By lending a helping hand to our community members who are struggling, you have the opportunity to bring hope and a bright future to those who need it most. Your support can provide basic necessities like food, financial assistance, and clothing. By contributing to St. Vincent De Paul, you can help transform the lives of our neighbors who are facing difficult times.
