Baton Rouge through its various programs. Your continued support makes our good works possible.
What good works are you most passionate about? If you'd like to join the number of Patrons of St. Vincent de Paul
by contributing monetarily, or with goods or volunteer services, please see the giving options available below:
THE GREATEST NEED
With your help, we can aid the most vulnerable members of our community. Your financial gift will benefit the various programs we use to reach out to those truly in need. Your gift could help 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 uniforms that children need to attend school. Your gift helps us support many needy men, women, and children.
Individuals can give monetary contributions in the form of cash, checks, money orders and credit card donations. These contributions can be dedicated to a specific charitable program or drive.
