Mission

THE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL ST. MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE CONFERENCE IS A CATHOLIC NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION SERVING THOSE IN OUR MIDST, WHO ARE IN NEED OF FOOD OR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE, OR WHO ARE SEEKING GUIDANCE ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF OTHER RESOURCES. WE BELIEVE IN PUTTING COMPASSION INTO ACTION AND WORKING ON SYSTEMIC CHANGE; WE OFFER PERSON-TO-PERSON SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RELIGIOUS APPLICATION OR BACKGROUND. WE COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PEOPLE OF GOODWILL IN RELIEVING NEED AND ADDRESSING ITS CAUSES. OUR FOOD PANTRY IS CENTRAL TO REACHING THE GOAL THAT NOBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD FACE HUNGER OR FOOD INSECURITY. THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF THE SOCIETY ARE SPIRITUALITY, FRIENDSHIP, AND SERVICE. WE ASPIRE TO LIVE THE GOSPAL MESSAGE AND TO GROW SPIRITUALLY BY SERVING CHRIST IN OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED WITH LOVE, RESPECT, HOPE, AND JOY, AND BY WORKING TO SHAPE A MORE JUST AND COMPASSIONATE SOCIETY.
