Voucher Ministry: Basic Needs for Dignified Living
Where we can, we strive to provide immediate help for people every day as those needs arise regardless of race, education, citizenship or background. In addition, the Society has adopted a distinct way in which we can provide assistance for the underprivileged and underserved in a discreet and dignified way. Those in need have to make tough choices between food, rent, utilities, transportation and medical bills. We help ease those decisions by providing vouchers to the utilities and landlords when a critical point has been reached and our funding allows.

Emotional and Spiritual Support: Compassion for People Drives Us
We live the Gospel, praying with people and lending an ear when we can. Loving and compassionate interest in individuals is one of our primary roles. The direct person-to-person dialogue that Vincentians, those hard-working individuals at our pantries have with those in need truly distinguishes the Society from other social agencies. When we have a good understanding of the root of the cause, we can address longer-term solutions for helping our friends lead self-sufficient, dignified lives.
