If you can afford an hour a week ~ stock a shelf, answer email, do spreadsheets, drive a car, make home visits … come join us!
We meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, 5:30 PM at Our Lady of the Rosary Classrooms.
Home Visits:
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul helps all in need. If you find yourself in need of assistance, please call our Help Line at 208-331-2208
Our Vincentian tradition, from the time of our founder, Frederic Ozanam, has always been the personal involvement of our members with those in need
This direct approach to assistance gives the Home Visitor a chance to assess need, and offer additional assistance such as food, clothing and furniture
The Vincentians provide those in need the simple fellowship of a listening ear and a caring heart
Vincentians always visit in pairs
Direct Aid:
The Society understands that when people fall on hard times, sometimes they simply need a helping hand….We are here to extend that hand - to give help and hope
Financial assistance provided for individuals experiencing a crisis
