About St. Vincent de Paul

St. Vincent de Paul serves our neighbors in need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our help begins with our Conferences and their volunteer members (Vincentians) giving emergency assistance with utilities, food, clothing, furniture and many other services to our neighbors in need. Person-to-person assistance is the trademark of the St. Vincent de Paul Conferences; helping individuals to stay in their homes.

When a person becomes homeless, St. Vincent de Paul is also there to offer shelter and hope. Our Gateway Shelters provide temporary emergency shelter to those who are homeless. During the course of any given day our shelters serve over 400 men, women and children. We provide daily meals, showers, clothing, personal care items, mail and messaging service, and access to full-time case managers who assist our guests in achieving housing based on their individual needs. Each year nearly 4,200 people come to us for shelter. While most guests only stay for a short period of time, we annually help hundreds of individuals to transition from the shelter into permanent housing. Our focus at St. Vincent de Paul is to help our guests address their challenges through Christian accompaniment, and with compassion.

You can join us in our efforts by volunteering, donating in-kind goods or services, or supporting us financially through a gift today.

We are faithfully guided by the oversite of Vincentians and community members who sit on two boards. Each board provides accountability, insight, guidance, decision-making, and prayers for our operations.
