If You Are In Need:
The St. Vincent de Paul Society’s purpose is to help our neighbors in need. The only requirement for assistance is that the person is a resident of Salem. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with rent, fuel, gas and/or electric bills or food, call the Confidential Help Line at 978.745.9060 option 3 or email: [email protected]. All requests for help will be kept strictly confidential.

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.
