Summer in Arizona is a heightened time of need for our most vulnerable neighbors. St. Vincent de Paul provides everything from heat relief, shelter, and water for those experiencing homelessness, to rent and utility assistance allowing families to buy food, keep the AC on, and stay in their homes during the extreme heat. Your support helps vulnerable Arizonans get through the brutal summer heat.
