A Source of Help and Hope
The foundation of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is simple. We are a group of lay Catholic volunteers from all walks of life, helping those in need with the basic necessities - food, clothing, shelter, utility assistance, transportation and emotional comfort. We believe that when we look into the face of someone who is poor or in need, we see the face of Christ. We see it in the faces of little children getting a bed to sleep in, adults in need of a job or clothing or even help with the family meal.
At St. Vincent de Paul, our mission is to serve the needy and suffering in a spirit of justice and charity. Donations are used and distributed throughout the Greater St. Louis area.
| “The poor are hungry not only for food; they are hungry to be recognized as human beings. They are hungry for dignity and to be treated as we are treated. They are hungry for our love. |
