​You Can Make A Difference!
By volunteering for St. Vincent de Paul or becoming a member, you can be sure you're making a difference locally for those in need. For some, this is a chance to give something back to the community, to use their experience and skills to make a difference in the lives of people who need assistance the most. For others, it is a chance to develop new skills and experience in a supportive environment and a deeper spiritual awareness within the Body of Christ.

Below are some of the ways you can get involved with this Catholic organization committed to alleviating the suffering of the poor.
