St Vincent de Paul Society

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) is an international lay organization founded in 1833, dedicated to serving individuals and families in need. In Canada, the SSVP helps over 350,000 people annually by providing material support such as food, clothing, household items, and furniture. Their mission is to live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, and joy.

The SSVP's work extends beyond homes and shelters, reaching refugees, immigrants, and northern communities. Through their Home Visit program, known as Vincentians, they establish personal relationships with those in need, offering not only material assistance but also friendship and understanding. With a focus on enhancing the lives of people in need, the SSVP has made a significant impact, providing millions of dollars worth of food and merchandise, serving thousands of individuals and children, and offering educational assistance to those in need.
