Grantee Spotlight: Society of St. Vincent de Paul
The mission statement of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is to serve the poor through person-to-person service. This involves helping those in need with love, respect, justice, and joy and building a more just and compassionate society by addressing the causes of poverty. By service to others, the members provide food, clothing, housing and other forms of aid.
Funding from the Grunin Foundation helps the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's Home Visits in Ocean County. From the Society’s beginning, the central and most basic activity of the conference has been the visitation of the needy in their homes. It symbolizes their Vincentian commitment to reach out to the needy rather than have them report to an outside service site. In the home, people feel most free to confide their stories of struggle. Vincentians are asked to listen, offer humble advice and render assistance. (svdpoceancountynj)
