Thank you!
Thank you for your generosity during the month of December with the $15,000 match challenge. As of December 20th, donations exceeded $16,000, securing the $15,000 match. As we enter the coldest time of year, we will be in a better position to help more families in their time of need.
While the Advent and Christmas season remind us that we should help others who are less fortunate than we are, this remains true throughout the year. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you and may God bless you. Happy New Year!

Who We Are
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of the Society’s work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. The Society recognizes that it must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless. Some 12 million persons are helped annually by Vincentians in the United States.
