Application process
Visit the local parish for assistance first. Visit the website for a listing of all active SVdP parishes, hours and services provided. If no zip code is serviced by a local parish, call, email or visit the Community Resource Center. Centro Rendu provides Spanish speaking staff at the Community Resource Center, and will be easier to access than the parish churches for Spanish speakers. All St. Vincent de Paul churches and the community Resource Center work together to assist families and individuals in need to provide basic needs, which vary depending on the request of the person/family in need. Most requests are utility assistance, food, gas vouchers, clothing, referrals to behavioral health services and assistance with applications for other services. SVdP Churches are listed below.
