The Impact of St Vincent de Paul
Each and every week, St Vincent de Paul provides assistance to those in need in and around Frisco. In 2016, St Vincent de Paul provided $126,754 in assistance to over 200 families.
While we are a Catholic lay organization, we provide assistance to all those in need, regardless of ethnic or religious background.
By way of example, for the week of April 13th, 2017, here is a summary of the assistance St Vincent de Paul was able to provide:
- Provided rent assistance for a single mother who's working hours were cut. This prevented her from being evicted from her apartment.
- Provided assistance with rent for a single mother who is on unemployment.
- Provided assistance with rent for a single mother who recently lost her job and has applied for unemployment, but is not yet receiving any payments.
- Provided assistance with Electric utility for a single mother who had her money stolen.
- Provided rental assistance for a family who had suffered a financial setback after a car accident.
- Partnered with Frisco Family Services to provided assistance with Rent and Electric for a single mother who's unemployment claim was denied.
For the above cases, St Vincent de Paul provided $3,696 in assistance for 6 adults and 9 children.
Won't you join us in helping those who are in need? Our organization is 100% volunteer, and we first meet with each client face-to-face to assess how to best help their situation. In addition to prayers, we are often able to connect them with additional assistance beyond what meager assistance we can provide.
