Your financial donation can help Vincentians provide assistance to the poor and needy in northern Huntsville area. By doing so, you can help a neighbor family that is experiencing trouble, to receive food or to get assistance with their electricity or heating bills and not have these services shut off. SVDP's help with rent payments can keep a family from becoming homeless.
Together, we can make a difference for them. By the combination of your donations and our work, together we can partner to share our resources with the men, women, and children in our community who look to us for help.
To respect the wishes of those who donate to us, we do our best to verify the legitimacy of our clients' claims of need before providing any assistance.
A special collection is made specifically for our SVDP conference once a month at Our Lady Queen of the Universe parish. If you have collection envelopes from the parish, our monthly envelope is the pick evelope. Additionally, you can place a donation specifically marked for the St. Vincent de Paul Society at any time and the parish will see we receive the donation.
You may mail your donation to the Society at our local parish conference. Please mail your checks to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, 2421 Shady Lane Dr., Huntsville, AL 35810. Please make checks payable to The Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Please clearly mark your envelope as being for The Society of St. Vincent de Paul to avoid getting confused with other parish envelopes.
You can name St. Vincent de Paul as a beneficiary in your estate. Many wish to leave a part of their estate in order to continue helping the poor and needy after they die.
You can arrange a contribution to St. Vincent de Paul through a living trust by naming the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Conference of Our Lady Queen of the Universe Catholic Church, as the ultimate beneficiary. This method of giving is attractive because you retain complete control of the assets during your lifetime. You can designate the purpose of your gift or allow it to become part of our monetary reserves, helping to insure our continuing work for the northern Huntsville area's needy people. Your attorney can help you with all your estate planning needs.
Our conference has a SVDP food pantry. A food box is in the main hallway of the church to accept your donations of food items.
Antiques and large appliances can be sold by SVDP and the revenue generated pays for food, housing, heating, medicines, etc. for the needy.
We also may give large appliances directly to the poor.
There is a huge need for these items.
Please pray for our clients, and for our success in helping them.
