A Source of Help and Hope
The foundation of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is simple. They are a group of lay Catholic volunteers from all walks of life, helping those in need with the basic necessities - food, clothing, shelter, utility assistance, transportation and emotional comfort. They believe that when we look into the face of someone who is poor or in need, we see the face of Christ. We see it in the faces of little children getting a bed to sleep in, adults in need of a job or clothing or even help with the family meal.
At St. Vncent de Paul, their mission is to seve the needy and suffering in a spirit of justice and charity. Donations are used and distributed to those in need.
"The poor are hungary not only for food; they are hungary to be recognized as human beings. They are hungary for dignity and to be treated as we are treated. They are hungary for our love." -
Mother Teresa
