A non-profit charitable organization
WHO WE ARE
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Dubuque is a non-profit charitable organization providing a unique style of personal assistance with food, clothing, rent, utilities, educational and job training and other services to people facing economic, emotional or spiritual crises.
As a private, non-profit charity, the Society relies almost exclusively on private individuals, businesses and organizations locally for support.
Everything St. Vincent de Paul does is motivated by a sense of compassion for those struggling with poverty, loneliness, illness, family problems and many other difficulties. Our Catholic faith inspires us to action, sustains our commitment, and challenges us to become more like Christ. For Vincentians, every encounter with our fellow-man is an opportunity to share a spark of the divine fire as we walk with them in their daily challenges.
“I am very thankful for St. Vincent de Paul. I don’t know
what I would have done without their help.”
