SOCIETY OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL dba Pocatello St. Vincent De Paul

John (not his real name) came to us looking for utility assistance. We scheduled him for a Home Visit, anticipating his need could be addressed at that time. He came in to see us about two weeks later, when he received a disconnection notice. John is a senior citizen, with just enough income to pay his rent and remaining bills; medical costs sometimes interrupt his budget. We contacted Intermountain Gas Company, made payment arrangements, and pledged $150 in assistance. John's service was restored in the middle of winter, keeping him warm and healthy. Since then, John has also utilized our clothing voucher program, and has received food from our food pantry.
