That's what the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin is all about: caring people helping their neighbors-in-need with basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing and emotional comfort. There are heartbreaking circumstances right here in our own community, but practical, compassionate, person-to-person caring can make a world of difference.
At the St. Vincent de Paul Society, our goal is to deal with the initial emergency then shepherd individuals into programs that can bring lasting change into their lives. Last year, we assisted more than 12,000 Marin citizens with their basic needs. All donations to the Society stay in Marin County to help our struggling citizens.
"The poor are hungry not only for food, they are hungry to be recognized as human beings. They are hungry for dignity and to be treated as we are treated." -Mother Teresa
The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin never sells, trades or shares our donors' personal or contact information with anyone else, nor do we send mailings on behalf of other organizations.
