St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County, Inc.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, Inc. was established in 1954 and is the largest nonprofit human services organization in Lane County, Oregon. Our mission is to "assist the poor and those in need of consolation, seeking out and utilizing every resource. Being mindful of the sanctity and dignity of all, any charitable work that advances those goals is within the mission of St. Vincent de Paul." We are committed to providing comprehensive programs to alleviate poverty and help all individuals find a path out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. Our main programmatic focuses are: Affordable housing: more than 1,500 units have been developed since 1988 and expanded to eight mobile home park restoration and management across Lane and Multnomah counties. Emergency services: includes food boxes, vouchers to our retail thrift stores, rent and utilities assistance, and various supply drives throughout the year. Homeless services: Single adults, youth, and families have access to restrooms, showers, laundry and access to overnight shelters with resources aiding in finding permanent housing. We also have a specific program for Veterans and their families that provide opportunities for transition after drug/addiction treatment and housing support. Recycle programs: in 2019, SVDP recycled more than 37 million pounds of material that would have crowded landfills. Retail Thrift Stores: our waste-based enterprises like our thrift stores, used car lot, and online book sales fund our life-stabilizing programs and allows us to serve more vulnerable members of our community. All of these programs just scratch the surface of SVDP's commitment to ending the cycle of homelessness. Your support and advocacy ensures a stronger neighborhood, community, and world.
