How Can You Help? .....
The Saint Vincent de Paul Society depends heavily on the generosity of others to continue to help everyone we serve in the community. We are blessed and thankful to be supported by churches, businesses, labour groups, community organizations, schools, and many caring individuals in Prince George and the surrounding areas. The Society's greatest riches lie in our volunteers and benefactors who are making a difference in the lives of those who access our services.
The Saint Vincent de Paul Store depends on community donations to continue its work.
Clothing, furniture, mattresses, books, assorted household items and appliances in working order are gratefully accepted.
