Volunteer Your Time

Bringing Hope and Help to those in need. That is what the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
		volunteers are all about.  We are one of the oldest service organizations in the United States. Founded in St. Louis in 1845, over 2500 volunteer-members, called Vincentians, participate in the good works of the Society. Inspired by Gospel values, members offer person-to person involvement by visiting those in need, providing utility and rental assistance, visiting the sick and imprisoned, offering food and clothing, and sharing in prayers with all who ask for help.

Volunteers are always needed for the following:

• St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores located at; 4127 Forest Park Ave., St. Louis, MO 63108 and 2215 Droste Rd., St. Charles, MO 63301. Help is needed in the stores Monday thru Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
