St. Vincent de Paul

We are expanding!  In addition to our longstanding services-rent/utility assistance, food, Better Sleep, Better Health bed program-we are expanding our Back2Work program and we are opening a farm! Our Back2Work program is a high-intensity workforce development program.  In the first two years, we helped 98 people get back to work or make a move to pursue their goals.  With your help, people really can move the needle!  Do you want to help stop generational poverty? We'll show you how.

We are also opening an urban farm!  We've been blessed by an opportunity to partner with John Deere to open an urban farm on our westside campus.  With your help, we'll grow fresh produce 12 months a year for many years to come.
