Vincentian supported charities are meeting the needs of children, adults and families through:

• Religious Education

• Counseling

• Soup kitchens and food pantries

• Emergency assistance - utilities, food, medicine, shelter, clothing, etc.

• Medical care for the uninsured

• Tutoring & mentoring

in numerous locations throughout the United States.

Through your generosity, the Vincentian Community is able to staff and/or support many ministries. Below are a few examples:

Vincentians provide meals seven days a week to feed the hungry in their parishes located in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Greensboro, and Charlotte. Often this is the only meal some people eat that day. Food pantries also help supply food for the poor.

Education holds the key to a young person’s future. Vincentians provide needy children with tuition scholarships to attend Catholic Elementary and High Schools. Vincentians also provide after-school and summer classes in reading and mathematics, summer Bible school camps, and volunteer academic mentoring.

The Vincentian Community has established two shelter programs for those with housing needs. The "Inn Dwelling" program renovates and rehabilitates homes and sells them to low-income families. "Potter House" is a shelter for "recovering" homeless men. In addition to housing, these two programs offer job training, counseling, financial guidance, and schooling for adults and children.
