Outreach is looking for volunteers who are available to serve persons in need on Thursday mornings remotely via phone. We also have brief service opportunities on Wednesday mornings (remotely via phone) as well as in-person and remote administrative needs (tracking volunteer schedules, writing assistance checks for the director to sign, etc.). We have a particular need for volunteers who can speak and understand Spanish spoken over the phone. All prospective and current volunteers must be EIM compliant.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept in-kind donations at this time. For in-kind donation options that help those we can no longer serve, please check out The Other Ones Foundation for ways to help those experiencing homelessness.
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, Members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.

To provide emotional, material and spiritual support for pregnant women and families in need. We seek to plant the seed of God's love within the hearts of women and men who feel overwhelmed, lost, alone and afraid - whether rich or poor, single, married, young or older. We welcome families of any faith, those that have been away from the faith, and all who have had little or no faith foundation. Learn more about the Gabriel Project here.
