St. Vinnie’s Voice: Ready for Download

While folks languished in an autumn warm spell, St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County was busy getting ready for less friendly conditions with a series of openings and re-openings. The Myrtlewood's 35 new units are nearly full; it's a new day at Saginaw Mobile Home Park, and up to 20 families are being fed and sheltered each night at the First Place Annex, a permanent home for Night Shelter. Read about these accomplishments and more in the Fall 2018 edition of St. Vinnie's Voice.

Share Your Good Fortune Via Holiday Joy

What's your holiday status? If you've got all you need and would prefer to share, take part in St. Vinnie's Holiday Joy Program. It matches people who can give with individuals and families who can't because they are low-income, have a disability, or are elderly and on a limited fixed income. This year, will your joy money go to someone who's expecting it, or to someone for whom it will fall from the sky like, well starshine? That's Holiday Joy.

Saginaw Mobile Home Park Gets Appreciative Reception

From Rough Ground A Stately Myrtlewood

Set against matching gray clouds, the stately Myrtlewood building loomed large over an appreciative crowd of affordable-housing advocates and soon-to-be tenants who gathered Oct. 9 to celebrate its completion. Developed by St. Vincent de Paul in partnership with the Church of the Brethren, the Myrtlewood is located near 10^th and Main in Springfield and adds to that neighborhood 35 affordable units in an attractive, energy-efficient building.
