Mission Statement
In the spirit of love and justice, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Santa Clara County provides person-to-person services of time, talent and resources to help our neighbors in need. There are families and individuals throughout Santa Clara County who right now are in desperate need of our love and support. Many of them feel no one is listening and that is why the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is here. We listen as well as respond to people in crisis. We offer them hope when they feel all but forgotten by society, and we make certain all who contact us are helped in every way possible. Together we can make a vast difference for them. Please partner with us to share resources with the men, women, and children in our community.
Description
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization of Santa Clara County, leads, supports and guides people to join together to serve the needy and to grow spiritually, in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
The Society's goals are to help the needy and impoverished residing in Santa Clara County. We assist with food, clothing, housing and utility expenses, and the basic needs. In short, we help families and individuals stay housed and together. We help all in need regardless of age, race, creed and sexual orientation. We do this through a network of conferences which work as local Parish groups.
Our volunteers are as diverse as our clients and work together to fulfill our mission of helping those in need.
