About

Our Mission

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is inspired by the Saint who dedicated his life to serving those in need.  As a community of volunteers we continue his work in Anderson through shelter and utility assistance and other ministries that provide direct aid to our neighbors.

Services

Our direct aid ministries focus on providing help to our neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet.
