Volunteers help to keep our thrift stores running by picking up and sorting donated items, organizing and inventorying merchandise, repairing bicycles and other goods which can either be sold at our thrift store or given to people who may need transportation to school or work, and providing excellent customer service.

Our ministry is to the homeless and working poor individuals, and families that are desperately in-need throughout our community. It's rewarding work knowing that you've helped another person. You can become a volunteer.

Whether a volunteer or an employee, your talents and skillsets could help various departments supporting the mission of St. Vincent de Paul. If you’re not sure what you’d like to do, but you want to help, please contact us. Your skills and interests may help others. We will have many specialized projects for which we’d love to have outside expertise.
 

• After its humble beginnings in Paris, France by Frederic Ozanam in 1833, the Society grew to over 2500 Conferences around the world, during the lifetime of Fredrick Ozanam.
• Since then our Society has expanded to more than 44,600 Conferences with more than 800,000 men and women who call themselves "Vincentians" around the world.
• The first SVDP meeting in the United States took place in St. Louis, Missouri in 1845, just 12 years after the Society's beginning in France.
• In the United States, we have in excess of 98,000 members in almost 4,500 Conferences.
• Our members believe that being a Vincentian is a vocation - something we live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• We are teachers, parents, engineers, accountants, bankers, and many other professions.
• To have a Vincentian vocation means that we understand that everything that we have  - skills, talents, material goods - comes from God's grace and mercy, and that we are called as Christians to use those resources to reduce the suffering experiences by our brothers and sisters in our community and around the world.
