Help Us do more this Holiday Season
Please join hands with SVdP in this season of love and caring. You can help us provide more local affordable housing, jobs, and life-stabilizing help for seniors, veterans, and families. More of your neighbors are in need than ever before.
Our Impact
For 70 years, St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County’s social service programs have provided supportive resources for individuals, children, and families who live in poverty and/or homelessness, serving 35,000 people annually. SVdP operates more than 1,600 units of affordable housing and two-day-access shelters for families and individuals experiencing homelessness, offers low-barrier employment, and administers many programs that foster long-term stability. Waste-based businesses generate revenue for social services and divert millions of pounds of reusable materials from landfills annually.
