Support SVdP Financially
Business of Good
Support St. Vincent de Paul in 2026.
Looking to the New Year, we know there are challenges ahead for those we serve, many of whom rely on the social safety net for health care, food access, and rental assistance. The increasing precarity of critical assistance programs so many in our community depend on to survive means that SVdP’s nonprofit social services, affordable housing, and homeless and shelter programs are needed more than ever. But as we mobilize to meet increasing need, we must navigate more than a million dollars in funding reductions that have impacted our homeless and emergency shelter programs.
So, this holiday season, your gift will help us bridge the growing gap in our community’s social safety net. Together, we can make sure that our most vulnerable neighbors will not face the uncertainty of the months ahead alone. We can ensure that those most in need can find refuge in the safety and warmth of shelter and housing this winter.
Season of Joy
Season of Joy supports Seniors during the Holidays & Families All Year
In the spirit of SVdP’s mission to bring comfort to the vulnerable in our community, we will be offering support to seniors and families living at our affordable housing properties this holiday season. The Season of Joy Campaign will raise funds to provide totes filled with essential items for daily living to seniors and to families in our resident services program and in our affordable housing properties; a population that is often overlooked during the holidays.
