How We Impact the Community
Who can a family turn to when their only breadwinner is injured or ill? Or when a daughter must quit her job to take care of an elderly parent? They can turn to St. Vincent de Paul.
Our volunteers address the food and housing needs of our neighbors in this unique and diverse Napa community. Our worldwide organization, founded in the 19th century, has been continually active in the Napa community since 1941, giving personalized, practical, “no strings attached” assistance to those in need, regardless of creed, color, gender, or circumstance. By personal face-to-face contact with clients, often including home visits, we tailor our assistance to the unique needs of over 350 families each year; be it with access to healthy food, help with rent or utilities, or transportation costs. Our Thanksgiving boxes serve more than 130 Napa Valley families each year. In these challenging times of rising costs and increasing food and housing insecurity, our efforts continue to be vitally needed.
