Spring Cleaning for Winter Shelter

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County

Setting up for the winter shelter

St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County (SVdP) is located in the heart of one of California's most distressed communities, downtown Oakland at San Pablo and West Grand Avenues. SVdP connects anyone in need with free direct services, including access to hot meals, clothing, hygiene kits, laundry, showers, referral services, and support groups. In addition, SVdP operates Winter Shelter mid-November through mid-April. With 75 cots per night, 7 nights a week, there’s a lot of basic maintenance involved. SVdP needs help closing up shop for the 2016/2017 Winter Shelter season. We need a one-time crew to help sanitize, break-down, and store the cots until next November.

The Spring Cleaning Winter Shelter project needs to take place on a Monday between the hours of 10am and 3pm. With a small group the project will take about 3 hours.

Mission Statement

St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County is dedicated to serving the men, women and children of Alameda County.

Description

A non-profit, community-based organization, St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County (SVdP) offers emergency and social safety net services to its neighbors, relying on a vast network of volunteers to carry out our mission. We operate a free dining room, thrift stores, an e-waste recycling program, men and women's drop-in centers, workforce and culinary training programs and much more. St. Vincent de Paul serves everyone regardless of origin, creed, or affiliation. Our staff and volunteers are a diverse and talented group, representing a wide range of experiences and perspectives.

St. Vincent de Paul was founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam, a 20-year-old student of the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Similar groups began to form in Paris, then spread throughout France, and eventually throughout the world.

Volunteers, known as Vincentians, are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility, and sharing. St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County was founded in 1938, and has been serving the community of Oakland ever since.
