How Vincentians Work  
​Vincentians are trained volunteers who serve through their local parish-based St. Vincent de Paul Conferences. They meet with individuals and families in their homes or another comfortable setting to:

• Offer emotional and spiritual support
• Assess needs for food, clothing, rent, or utility assistance
• Connect neighbors with additional community resources
• Provide help when possible — always with respect, compassion, and confidentiality

Vincentians are not social workers or government agencies; they are neighbors helping neighbors, inspired by faith and dedicated to restoring hope.

Please Note:
Calling the office will not speed up the process. The assistance attendant is not a trained Vincentian and cannot determine eligibility or make assistance decisions - there primary job is to pass on your information.   A Vincentian volunteer will contact you directly within 2–4 days.
