There is no single solution to preventing homelessness.

Every community faces different challenges, which is why our 62 local Conferences respond in different ways; some provide rental assistance, others help with utility bills, operate food pantries and more.

While our services may differ, our mission remains the same: helping neighbors in need find stability.

Today is the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua!

Just like St. Vincent de Paul, St. Anthony dedicated his life to helping individuals in need. He advocated for those facing oppressive debt and inspired a tradition of feeding the hungry with bread.

💙Thank you St. Anthony for living the mission of St. Vincent de Paul!

Happy Birthday to our patron, St. Vincent de Paul! 💙

On April 24, 1581, St. Vincent de Paul was born.

His belief that every person deserves dignity and compassion transformed how the world responds to poverty and continues to guide our work today.

More than four centuries later, Vincentians carry forward that mission, serving neighbors in need through acts of charity, justice, and love.

💙 Inspired by his example, we continue to serve.
