A new St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho website is live & we want your feedback!

In celebration of our 80th year, and after months of planning, writing, revising, and dreaming, we’re excited to share a fresh online home for St. Vinny’s.

Whether you’re looking for help, hoping to volunteer, exploring ways to give, learning about our housing and shelter programs, or simply curious about what we do, we hope you’ll take a look around.

Visit: www.stvincentdepaulnorthidaho.org

This website was built for our community, and we’d love your feedback. Explore the site and send us a DM with anything you love, anything that’s confusing, or anything we should improve.

A special thank you to our friends Mallory and Bretta Front ROI Marketing for the incredible time, heart, creativity, and thoughtfulness they poured into this project. They listened, captured who we are, and helped create a website that better reflects our mission and the people we serve. 💙

For 80 years, St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho has provided shelter, meals, housing, and essential support to neighbors in need in Coeur d'Alene.

A stick of deodorant. A toothbrush. A package of protein bars. Laundry detergent. Sunscreen. Toilet paper...

They may seem like small things, but when a neighbor is experiencing homelessness, fleeing a crisis, moving into housing, or simply trying to make it through a difficult month, these essentials can make all the difference.

The HELP Center, shelters, housing programs, and hygiene services rely on community support to keep basic necessities on hand. Right now, some of our greatest needs include hygiene kits, deodorant, toothpaste, disposable razors, laundry detergent, protein snacks, bottled water, disinfecting wipes, toilet paper, and sunscreen.

You can purchase items directly from our Amazon Wishlist or shop locally and drop donations off at the HELP Center.

Every item helps restore dignity, meet a practical need, and remind someone that their community cares.

Thank you for helping neighbors across North Idaho find stability, hope, and a path forward. 💙

Have starts to share? 🍅🫑🍓🌻

Did you know all of our St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho housing properties include community garden beds for residents? 🌱

These gardens do more than grow vegetables and flowers. They create connection, purpose, peace, and pride. Gardening can support mental health, reduce stress, build community, and provide fresh, healthy food right outside someone’s door.

As planting season gets underway, we are looking for extra plant starts to help fill our beds with life and nourishment. Tomatoes, peppers, herbs, flowers, pumpkins, beans, peas, cucumbers, zucchini… if you have extras, we would love to share them with our residents.

If you would like to donate plant starts, you can drop them off at St. Vinny’s Thrift or the HELP Center or email [email protected] and we will coordinate pickup!

Thank you for helping hope grow, one garden bed at a time. 🌼

We are thrilled to welcome Nicky Swayne to the Board of Directors of St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho ✨

Nicky brings more than 24 years of hands-on nonprofit leadership experience, having led and supported small nonprofit organizations with practicality and heart. A bilingual professional fluent in German and English, she offers a broad, multicultural perspective shaped by years of service, community engagement, and life as a military spouse living in communities across the United States.

Since making Coeur d’Alene her “ ” in 2022, Nicky has become deeply connected to the North Idaho community through organizations including North Idaho College, Rotary International, P.E.O. Sisterhood, the Coeur d’Alene Chamber Leadership Program, and her recent work with United Way of North Idaho. Throughout her career, she has focused on building connections, strengthening communities, and helping mission-driven organizations thrive.

Nicky was drawn to serve on the board of St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho because of its commitment to dignity-centered support and practical assistance for neighbors experiencing crisis. She is especially passionate about addressing homelessness and housing instability among veterans and is committed to strengthening pathways toward stability, housing, and long-term support for those who have served.

Outside of her professional and volunteer commitments, Nicky enjoys honing her ceramics skills at NIC, nurturing her sourdough starter (“I’ll Be Back”), and spending time with her beloved brown Labrador.

We are honored to welcome your leadership, energy, and compassionate heart to the St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho family, Nicky!
