The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Texas offers person-to-person support to those in need. 

1,393 Vincentians are currently committed to feeding, housing, clothing, and advocating for those in need in Southwest Texas.  Here are some of their friendly, loving, and compassionate faces. 

Our Vincentians, who volunteer their time to serve others, provided over $11 Million in services including rental and utility support, food aid, clothing assistance, assistance with prescription assistance and medical bills, and much more.  

We Feed. We House. We Clothe. We Advocate.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Texas distributed $4 million worth of food to those in need ensuring they receive vital sustenance. 55,368 individuals were able to access food assistance through our food pantries last year. 

$600,458 in rental assistance was provided last year from our
52 conferences in Southwest Texas. Through our efforts, we helped individuals and families maintain stable housing, ensuring they had a safe and secure place to call home. In addition, 681 households received essential furniture items and an additional $21,390 was spent providing functional living spaces to those in need. 

16,106 individuals received essential clothing items through our pantries. In addition to the various clothing pantries throughout our area, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Texas has two thrift stores located in the Texas hill country that provide low cost clothing to those struggling. 

You can help by DONATING today. 

In 2020, seeing that need was on the rise in our community due to COVID-19, a Catholic student from Antonian named Brandon Davis called together Five Friends. They gathered face-to-face via Zoom to discuss how they could help their local Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

Together, they decided they needed to begin telling the story of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and find ways to support their local Council.  They started contacting everyone they knew to FIND FIVE FRIENDS just like Frederic Ozanam (our founder) did. They asked their friends to donate $25 to support the mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. To date, students from St. Mary Magdalen, Blessed Sacrament, Mount Sacred Heart, St. Anthony’s, Providence, Central Catholic, and Antonian College Preparatory have participated in the campaign.

Today the campaign continues. Students hope that their efforts will create a viral network of supporters to help feed, house, and clothe those in need. The students hope individuals, colleges, universities, and businesses will join Find Five Friends.
