 Welcome  to St. Vincent de Paul!!

 The St. Vincent de Paul Society  is an international organization devoted to serving the poor.  It was founded in 1833 by a young French student, Frederic Ozanan, and today encompasses 750,000 members in 122 countries.  The Society was established in the United States in 1845 and today has 107,000 members.  Last year, the Society helped over 12 million people in the United States plus many more in the world through our Twinning and Disaster programs.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society  of Contra Costa County consists of 22 parish Conferences with approximately 300 volunteers providing help to the poor in our county.  Most assistance is through the direct personal encounters of our members, seeking in friendship, to bring whatever assistance we are able to provide.  

Employment opportunities and low-cost merchandise are provided by our two thrift stores.

All our programs are sustained through donations and store revenues

In summary, our business is rebuilding hope and confidence and putting people back to work.
