Since 1978, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) has served those in need of material assistance during a personal crisis. Vincentian volunteers provide person-to-person support to prevent homelessness, fight hunger and share the Gospel with those in need.
Kick off Lent with St. Vincent de Paul's Stuff the Truck event
Bring your GENTLY USED, WORKING items to STM on March 1-2nd. Look for the large St. Vincent de Paul trucks in the parking lot by the Life House.
Preferred items are: Bed Linens,Clothes & Accessories, Housewares, Furniture, Home Décor, Toys, Sporting Goods, Jewelry, Entertainment, Luggage, Outdoor items, Large & small Appliances (no built ins), Electronics and Medical Equipment.
NO baby hard items like baby beds, seats, NO textbooks, NO paint or batteries, NO unframed mirrors, NO mattresses or bed frames.
ALL items must be intact, in good working order and not soiled or torn. "If you would not buy this item for yourself, why expect anyone else to buy this item." Hospitality and true charity comes in giving the best of ourselves, just as our Lord gives us the best of everything. As we prepare our hearts to walk with Jesus in his passion, let us do what we can to walk with our suffering brothers and sisters. Alone we can do little but "Together We Do More".
Happy New Year 2025, and thank you for your continued support and generosity. Because of you, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to help 271 individuals directly by providing $38,943.36 in assistance for the months of Oct-Dec. 2024. We helped 13 homeless people find shelter, made 1 hospital visit, did 94 home visits and 28 phone visits. We provided $1,995 in HEB gift cards. You make a difference in the lives of so many people whom you don't even know. Let us continue to bring the light of Christ and the hope of the world to our neighbors in need.
Respecting the dignity of each person, SVdP brings hope and help to those in need, so they may achieve stability and move toward self-sufficiency with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Vincentians personally make home visits (pre-Covid) or visit-by-phone, to ascertain the daily/financial needs of those who have reached out to the parish office for help. We use your generous donations to assist with rent, utilities, food and transportation. In recent times, we often find a need to help with healthcare expenses, and temporary lodging.
Our team of Vincentians needs your support! Here’s how you can help:
