ST VINCENT DE PAUL, SAFFORD

Inspired by Gospel values, The Society of St Vincent de Paul, a Catholic Lay Organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those in need and suffering. Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice.

St Vincent de Paul Society began serving Safford AZ in 1990 out of a small food pantry at St Rose of Lima Parish where donated food and bread items were distributed to those in need. In 2010, as needs grew, we purchased and remodeled our current location at 221 E Main St. The basement became the food pantry where we currently distribute approximately 325 boxes of food monthly. Food is donated from Safeway, Bashas, and Walmart weekly and is supplemented by additional foods purchased from donations like yours during the year..
St Vincent de Paul receives and distributes thousands of pounds of clothing, furniture, and household goods. It is major US recycler. The lightly used items are offered to the public at greatly discounted prices and to those most in need, at no cost, which dramatically improves quality of life. Store revenues help to subsidize our local outreach efforts..
Through cash donations from our benefactors, we are able to help those in need with a portion of their rent or utility.bills, when they are in jeopardy of being evicted or shut- off
