What is it?

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Peter’s is a lay Catholic ministry dedicated to serving individuals and families in need within our local community. Grounded in the spirit of charity and Christian service, SSVP offers support through food hampers, grocery gift cards, and compassionate outreach. All support is offered confidentially and with respect, regardless of religion or background.

How to Volunteer

This ministry is always looking for new volunteers, and the commitment is very flexible – help as often or as little as your schedule allows. Volunteers serve by:

 

• Preparing and delivering food hampers

• Helping behind the scenes with coordination and logistics

   

Whether you can offer regular support or help just once in a while, there’s a place for you on the team.
