Founded in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide organization of lay Catholics, following Christ’s call to serve the poor, the suffering, and the deprived.

Our founding activity, still practiced today, is the Home Visit. Through these visits, Vincentian members establish personal relationships with our neighbors in need, not only providing material assistance such as rent, utilities, food, or clothing, but also offering friendship, understanding, and prayer.

4worldlovers: We recognizes that no two people have the same hardships in life. Some people live in extremely difficult circumstances, and others just need some help along the way. With that taken into account, we’ve designed our programs to provide personal care for every individual's unique situation.

Our programs include a variety of services including Food and Essentials, Employment Support, Housing Assistance, Substance-Use Treatment, and Emergency Outreach. Our staff guides each program member throughout the process of applying for government benefits, grants, and other resources.

Making a change is hard, but we believe that it's worth the reward. We provide you with one-on-one care to empower you to take the necessary steps towards a better life. Explore our services and find support near you.

We believe that tangible change is only possible together. Our approach is simple. Everyone, no matter their beliefs or background, has an active role in the solution.

Our life-changing services are only made possible with the help of every single community member.

Whether it's support from donors, faith members, or volunteers, your support is more than just help. It’s partnership.
