SUPPORT ST. VINNIES

Many of us have a friend or family member who has needed a hand or a second chance in life. We welcome everyone with compassion and without judgment. You may know us for our thrift store, but our mission is much broader!

In these uncertain times, will continue to uphold our mission to help those in need regardless of race, religion or orientation.

Each day, our team of experienced caseworkers assists 100+ families & individuals in our Community Resource Center & Family Resource Center with a wide range of needs to help promote housing and long-term stability.
