Mission Statement
Marillac St Vincent Family Services strengths, empowers and gives voice to those in need - in the Vincentian Spirit of Service - through education and comprehensive programs to build vibrant communities in Chicago.
About This Cause
Families from all over the city choose St. Vincent de Paul Center, located at 2145 N Halsted St Chicago, IL 60614 because of its desirable location in Lincoln Park, with safe streets and beautiful parks, and our high quality programs for children and families. Marillac Social Center, located at 212 S. Francisco Ave., Chicago, IL 60612 on the corner of Jackson and Francisco, is the central hub of East Garfield Park and the surrounding neighborhoods, and is affectionately known as "Marillac House." Marillac St Vincent Family Services' vision is to end the cycle of poverty. Early Childhood Education: The most important early goal in the life of a child is to become an enthusiastic learner. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and think their own thoughts. We follow their interests so they’re engaged and excited about learning, and we do it at their pace so they learn in the way that is best for them. Here, children learn, not just in preparation for preschool, but in preparation for life. When children are independent, self-confident, and inquisitive, they can do anything. Youth Services Through a wide array of services for youth, school-age children and teens are working together with our staff to develop positive relationships that will allow them to discover who they are and learn how to be leaders in their communities, developing tools to carry throughout their lives that will steer them away from violence and become global citizens of tomorrow. Community Outreach Community Outreach Services inspires and empowers adults, families, and seniors to work towards self-sufficiency and stability. Through individualized support, access to on-site resources, and strengthening community connections, adults and families receive tailored services to meet their specific needs. We meet the needs of our seniors through comprehensive, individualized case management care, monthly meetings for mobile seniors, and visits and food/meal support for our homebound elderly. Food Pantries At Marillac St. Vincent we recognize the food insecurity that exists in the communities we serve. In response to this need, we offer a Client Choice food pantry at each location. The Client Choice model empowers adults and families to select the food that best meets their needs.
