St. Vincent de Paul Conference (SVdP) is a lay organization inspired by shared Catholic values whose mission is to “bring concrete aid and the comfort of the Gospel to the needy and the suffering.” Emergency food, clothing and services are provided to the less fortunate members of our community on a person-to-person basis. Volunteers meet with families and individuals to assess needs and provide the appropriate assistance.

Typical assistance awarded a client might include a Grocery Outlet and/or St. VdP Clothing Stores, or perhaps a shower facilities voucher. Vouchers can only be used at the location designated and no change is returned to the client by the stores.

Vouchers vary in amount depending upon the size of the family seeking assistance and range from $20 to $100. A bag with assorted grocery staples (i.e. cereal, canned goods and other non-perishable food items) is also provided to most families. Clients can only receive assistance once every 2 months, although those identified as homeless can seek assistance once every month.

To assist our clients, we also provide referrals to other organizations that provide food, clothing, housing and other services to the needy. For families in need, we provide furniture, beds and household items as they struggle to make a home for their families. Volunteers pick up donations from our parishioners/friends and deliver them to our clients.

Clients are required to provide a current government issued identification and proof of address, unless homeless. Thus, monitoring of client assistance is performed to make sure program guidelines are adhered to.
