Through home visits, our members, known as Vincentians, establish personal relationships with persons in need by offering material goods as well as friendship and understanding. We serve anyone who seeks our help, regardless of race, colour, creed or any personal circumstance.

Material Goods Distribution

Our Home Visitors visit individuals and families in need in their homes in order to better understand an individual or family’s most pressing needs. Sometimes its as basic as clothes, or shoes. Our Clothing Room serves those in need by providing clothing, surplus household goods, books, and hygiene kits. We also provide tarps, rolling suitcases, backpacks, and sleeping bags for our unhoused friends in need as available and on a limited basis. 

Other times, an individual needs a bed, dishes, or other household furnishings which our Distribution Centre volunteers sort donations of bedding, household small appliances, lamps, televisions, dishes, and furniture and provide to families in need to help furnish their homes and meet their needs. These items are then boxed, bagged, and delivered directly to our Friends in Need. To see what our Friends in Need and Material Donors say about us and what we do please see Notes of Appreciation.
