At the heart of St. Vincent de Paul's philosophy of charity is the desire to meet face-to-face with our brothers and sisters. This allows us to better understand and meet your needs. Consequently, we are now requiring in-person visits as part of our financial aid process.
That being said, for the health and safety of your neighbors and our volunteers please do not come in if you are ill. Please authorize someone else to represent you and come to our facility during regular assistance hours.
If you have not registered with us previously, we will need to collect some information from you. This information may include:
Name
Address
Telephone Number(s)
Birthday
Number and Names of People in the Household
Monthly Income

As a general rule, applicants cannot earn more than 185% of the federal poverty guidelines.
