The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a ministry that strives to provide person-to-person assitance to those in need in our community. We provide help primarily in two ways. First, we provide emergency financial assistance to help with rent, utilities, food, clothing, or other emergency needs. We rely on donations to be able to offer this assistance. Second, we operate a food pantry that provides food to those in our community who are struggling to put food on the table. We receive food through FoodShare, local businesses and private donations. The table below shows how many people in our community we have helped in recent years.

Get Involved
There are two ways to get involved with the Society. The first is as a volunteer helping out at Society events such as our food pantry. Click the button below if you want to join the volunteer team. The second way is to make a one-time or recurring tax deductible financial donation. All of your donations stay local in our community to assist our friends and neighbors. The funds are managed by the local Society Conference staffed by volunteers so all of your donation goes to helping others in our community. Click the button below if you want to make a donation.
