Society of SVDP assistance programs in Montgomery County Alabama.
Regardless of religion, SVDP (Saint Vincent de Paul) of Montgomery County Alabama may be able to assist. Vincentians arrange for home visits, can provide free food or hot meals, and maybe a few dollars for rent, utilities or medical bills/needs to help stop evictions, homelessness, or a medical crisis. The faith based charity helps the vulnerable in Montgomery Alabama, ranging from seniors to the homeless, children, and working poor.
Vincentians from St. Vincent often need to visit the home of the applicant to assess the need. Based on that, free groceries, financial assistance, personal hygiene supplies, or other resources may be given. They also sell items from a thrift store (such as furniture), electronic, kitchen items, and much more.

There are many types of items that may be passed out from the center. They include personal care supplies (soap, razors, etc.), fresh produce or vegetables, canned meats, fish, and household care items. The clients of the program come from the greater Montgomery Alabama community and almost everyone that uses the pantry is both low income as well as they are experiencing financial difficulties.
Shop at thrift Store
SVDP of Montgomery County uses the money raised at the thrift store to pay for their operating expenses as well as to help fund the assistance programs administered to local families. The money from the sale of clothing, household goods, etc. is used to provide assistance for light bills, housing, rent, food, shelters, and more. The funds also pay counselors who work with the clients on case management.
The Thrift Stores sell anything thatīs donated, including furniture, household items, clothing, couches, kitchen appliances, cooling fans, and more. Anyone can also donate some gently used goods to the thrift store. If the item is in decent shape, if it “functions”, then it can be sold. Volunteers are always needed by Society of Saint Vincent as well to work at the thrift store.
