The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul provides assistance to those in serious need. Volunteers of the Society (known as Vincentians) visit those in need, or Friends-In-Need as we call them, in their homes to determine what kind of help they need. These Vincentians are called Home Visitors. Home Visits allow us to provide personal support to those in need. SSVP is not simply a grocery delivery service, furniture supplier or clothing outlet. We are here to support the people as we would support a friend. No distinction is made as to religion, color or creed, as to whom we serve, or those who are serving. The SSVP serves our neighbours in need in Edmonton and surrounding area – men, women and children who, either as individuals or as families, are encountering difficulties in their lives.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a charitable organization entirely run by volunteers. We provide assistance to those in need through distributing items donated by the public.
