We operate a remarkable network of over 80 "home bases," parish-based service centers that send trained volunteers on home visits to deliver food boxes and assess (and address) other immediate needs.

1,000,000+ People need help feeding their families.
At St. Vincent de Paul, we feel that the risk of quick fixes, however well-intentioned, does not outweigh the benefit of quality interaction and intervention. That’s why our home visits, where trained volunteers bring a box of food to a home in need. This "love in a box" can be a powerful tool to help our clients and their families get back on track. Rather than drop a food box on their doorstep and move on to the next need, we visit, with intensity, depth, real-life advice, encouragement, a prayer, and when we have enough funds, critical resources. That’s where our donors come in.
