The Mission of the St. Vincent de Paul Society

The Fond du Lac Chapter of the St. Vincent de Paul Society has enjoyed a strong presence in the community since 1934.  As a totally volunteer society we are proud that fully 98% of our income stays in Fond du Lac County and 95% goes to directly serve the needs of those in crisis.

Working in pairs, our volunteer Vincentians discern the needs of the people who come to us and provide relief no matter the religion, race or nationality of the family or individual.  Assistance with food, rent, utilities and other basic needs are the cornerstone of what we provide but the compassion of our volunteers often fills a void that is hard to define for those who reach out to us.

Our Thrift Store helps us not only fund our work, but also supplies quality used clothing, household goods and furniture at low prices.  Most of our income comes through direct donations and whether you choose to help by shopping in our store, making a cash contribution or getting more deeply involved on a personal level you’ll know you are indeed making a difference by touching people’s lives when they need it most.

We hope you’ll consider taking the next step for the St. Vincent de Paul Society and your own community.
