Get help with food or financial assistance?
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service.
An essential precept of the Society’s work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. The Society recognizes that it must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless.
Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
At Saint Veronica, the work of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society is made possible by generous donations from parish members who provide both food for the pantry and money to help provide for the emergency needs of families in our parish area.
Services Provided:
Providing food from the church food pantry
Assistance with emergency partial payments of utility, rent and medical expenses
How to get help:
Information about how to obtain assistance is available by calling the Parish Office at 650-588-1455.
How you can become involved:
Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. in the Parish Office. We look forward to having you on our mission of hope.
If you give some of your own food to [feed] those who are hungry and to satisfy [the needs of] those who are humble, then your light will rise in the dark, and your darkness will become as bright as the noonday sun.
– Isaiah 58:10
