THE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, COUNCIL OF LOS ANGELES

The Society is an international, Catholic volunteer organization that serves the needy of any religious background free of charge, inspired by our deep Catholic faith. Our organization was founded in Paris, France in 1833 by a compassionate college student, Frederic Ozanam, and for over 100 years our Vincentian volunteers have served the suffering in Southern California. We help the needy become self-sufficient by providing emotional and financial support, food, clothing, furniture, appliances, housing and by connecting the disadvantaged to helpful resources in Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Donations to our thrift stores make our work possible. Your financial gift or donations of household items help us help thousands of families every year. To donate clothes, furniture, cars, even boats, call us 1-800-974-3571.

Rudy's story

Rudy and his grandma were evicted for being late with their rent.  After a week of living in a motel they began to run out of money. Rudy and his grandma came to the Society’s Skid Row homeless shelter.  During their stay at the shelter, Rudy’s grandmother received counseling and budget training and Rudy was enrolled in school. Rudy’s grandmother became a supervisor at a local tax service company. She and Rudy now live happily in their own apartment.
