Mission Statement
The Santa Clara County Council of the St. Vincent de Paul Society mission is to organize, assist, and support the various Santa Clara County parish SVdP Conferences in order to provide help to neighbors in times of need.
About This Cause
An underlying principle of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is that each of us can make a difference in the lives of others, especially in times of need. Twenty-four parish SVdP Conferences in the Diocese of San Jose put this principle into practice every day of the year. SVdP Conferences are lay organizations comprised of volunteers that use locally raised funds to help neighbors in need. This assistance can take the form of operating a food pantry in Campbell, staffing a Help-Line to provide emergency assistance in San Jose, distributing food to families in Sunnyvale or preventing homelessness throughout Santa Clara County through assistance with rent and utilities. Together, the Conferences form the SVdP Santa Clara County Council to ensure shared progress toward common goals. The Council provides assistance to parish Conferences through training, developing more effective and efficient outreach programs, and providing a forum for parish Conferences to share information. Together, through the Santa Clara County Council, parish Conferences are able to provide the services of a larger, professionally-run organization without sacrificing local direction and the passion of lay volunteers doing good in their own neighborhoods.
