Friendship. Faith. Service.From friendship, to faith, to service, no form of support is foreign to St. Vincent de Paul.
We exist to build a more equitable and compassionate world through meaningful personal relationships, providing whatever is needed to help our neighbors get back on their feet and on a path towards self-sustainability. Our programs provide support ranging from utility, housing, and food assistance, to education and mentorship, and more.
How We Help
We build friendships with our neighbors, always lending an ear—and assistance when possible—with genuine compassion.
We restore our neighbors' faith in their futures, exemplifying Gospel values in everything we do, while enriching spirituality among our members.
We make a positive impact through service in our community, connecting our neighbors with resources that address immediate needs and support their long-term growth and stability.
Home Visits
As we build meaningful relationships with our neighbors through our unique home visits, we connect them with programs that will help them thrive.
We distribute more than $3.6M in utility assistance and $900K in rent assistance annually. We also provide ongoing energy-use education to ensure our neighbors keep their lights on and their homes warm.
Our thrift stores provide our neighbors with access to quality items at a discounted price. Every dollar spent in our stores goes towards supporting our neighbors in need.
When it comes to finding a venue for hosting an event, St. Vincent de Paul Detroit camps are some of Michigan's best-kept secrets.
Education & Mentorship
We provide education on topics such as budgeting, household management, and more, while also helping our incarcerated and recently released neighbors effectively transition into society.
We serve hot, well-balanced meals to our neighbors in need at our Matchan Nutrition Center and provide access to non-perishables at our food depots in Metro-Detroit.
