How We Impact the Community

Who can a family turn to when their only breadwinner is injured or ill? They can turn to St. Vincent de Paul.

We impact the community by addressing food and housing needs in this 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.

Through personal contact with clients, often including home visits, we tailor our assistance to the unique needs of over 350 families each year, providing what is needed to fill the gaps. Sometimes this means helping families access healthy food, or helping with rent, utility, or transportation costs. Our Thanksgiving boxes are a staple for over 130 families. And our monthly food distribution, coupled with the food recovery program of Feeding It Forward, reliably provides dozens of families with fresh food each month.

In these challenging times of rising costs and increasing food and housing insecurity, having a dependable source of aid offers relief, hope, and peace of mind for neighbors in need.

Testimonial

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I cannot express how much I appreciate you and how thankful I am. Thank you. You really don’t know how much this means to me and my kids. My daughter is starting her job as soon as they process the documents.
