SVdP in Action

 Vincentian volunteers go in pairs of two to visit individuals and families in their home that have called seeking assistance. During this Home Visit, they develop a real friendship, listen to their concerns, and offer to pray together. Encountering our fellow human being in their place of residence can be transformative, and this practice of visiting those in need has been part of the Society since its inception. 

 Vincentians seek to bring emergency financial assistance to a person in need’s household through assistance with rent, utilities, food, clothing, and other emergency needs in an effort to prevent homelessness. 

 Providing meaningful employment and volunteer opportunities, our thrift stores are a significant driver of the Society’s mission and effectiveness. Profits from our stores contribute millions of dollars for Councils and Conferences to use in their communities.
