Society of St. Vincent de Paul

Society of St. Vincent de Paul's volunteers offer friendship and support to individuals and families living with poverty to achieve self-sufficiency, while working for social justice.

Their focus is on practical approach to dealing with poverty, alleviating its effects on individuals and families through working primarily in person-to-person contact by a unique system of family visitation and seeking to achieve social justice and equality of opportunity for all citizens.

In addition to providing direct assistance to those in need, caring for the homeless, providing social housing, operating holiday homes and other social support activities, the Society promotes community self-sufficiency, enabling people to help themselves.
