Conferences

In most Catholic churches within Marin County, small groups of men and women organize local volunteer efforts to assist neighbors in need. These groups, known as Conferences, provide help to people of all faiths and backgrounds. Some of the services offered include food pantries, overnight shelter vouchers, assistance with obtaining clothing and furniture, and emergency financial assistance for utilities and rent. While not social workers, volunteers also provide solace and comfort for people at risk of isolation and depression. Currently, there are 12 conferences in Marin County with more than 180 volunteer members.

Conference members need not be parish members or Catholic to participate in this volunteer opportunity. Please contact Suzanne Walker for more information about our Marin County St. Vincent de Paul Conferences.
