Welcome to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Baton Rouge. St. Vincent de Paul has been actively striving to
understand and fulfill the needs of the poor within Baton Rouge and the surrounding community since 1865.
We are here to aid the most vulnerable members of our community. Through our various programs, we reach out to those in
need. We provide hot meals to those who would otherwise go hungry, warm beds to those who would have no place to sleep,
medications to those who could not afford them on their own, and the mandatory uniforms that children need to attend school.
By fulfilling these basic needs we do more than address the needs of the moment; we believe that we are giving a hand up,
and not a hand out. At every opportunity, we move to better the lives of those we help and move them towards self-sufficiency
and a better quality of life.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is pleased to announce the publication of their first cookbook, Taste & See, Food for the Body
and Soul. This hardcover book is a collection of recipes from local cooks, with a special section containing recipes from Chef
John Folse. In addition, each chapter begins with a touching short story about one of St. Vincent de Paul's special works programs.
