What we do

Through the generosity of the people of North Alabama   our conferences are able to distribute food and provide financial  assistance to help families meet the basic needs of people struggling to  make a fresh start. 

Working through 9 conferences

 

Last  year Vincentians spent 54,308 hours of service in helping our neighbors  in need. We helped 24,161 people in Jackson, Marshall, Madison, Morgan, Limestone, Lawrence, Colbert, Lauderdale and Cullman Counties, providing $1,045,050 in total assistance with $681,000 for rent and utilities and $363,648 in food assistance. 

Vincentians visit our neighbors need in their homes and help prevent homelessness through rental  assistance and help with utility bills. 

Home visits are the basis of the Society. We  currently have 323 Vincentians actively involved in providing help to  those in need in north Alabama.
