Over 27 years ago, one of our board members was inspired by the idea of the “miracle of sharing”.  Such a miracle occurred when Jesus fed a crowd of 5000 with just a few loaves of bread and a few fish.

Taking this concept to heart, the board member started to spread the word, and ultimately spoke before thousands of people at Sunday liturgies.  He asked them to give something small – the result of which would later become miraculous.  Specifically, he asked them to consider sharing a portion of their resources, such as $25 each month, with St. Vincent de Paul, to help those in need.  Those who answered his plea became Good Samaritans of St. Vincent de Paul.

"Gently used" clothing, household items, and furniture are always needed.  St. Vincent de Paul sells the donated goods in our thrift stores. Additionally, some donated items clothe the residents of our campus.
