Vision Statement
St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County will be the leader in: providing a social safety net through development of innovative solutions, services, and partnerships; no work of charity will be foreign to the Society. We will achieve social justice by incorporating entrepreneurial spirit and environmental stewardship.
