COVID 19 VIRUS
Due to the health safety measures implemented to combat the spread of the COVID 19 virus, our country faces a daunting economic challenge. Our role as Vincentians has always been to respond to those in need quickly and compassionately. We will continue to help our friends in need with assistance for housing, utilities and food.
The need for Vincentian compassion and care may never be greater. We will respond-but we need your help.
A gift to the Vincentian Relief Fund (VRF) will allow us to serve the increase in families financially impacted by COVID 19. Together, we can do more.
Please keep our leaders, our health care providers, our scientists, all those suffering from the virus and all our friends in need in your prayers.
HOW CAN I HELP DURING COVID 19?

helping friends in need
As Vincentians, we grow spiritually by serving our friends in need. We treat those we serve with dignity as we would a friend. When a Vincentian makes a home visit, they have been invited into someone's home. During the visit, the Vincentian listens to how we can help. We support our friends with
- Rent assistance
- Utility assistance
- Food assistance
- Information and referral
- Spiritual support
