Society of St Vincent de Paul -Collingwood
Learn about our passionate team, the important work we do to provide assistance to neighbours in need and how you can help
We need your help
Your generous donation will fund our mission of helping our neighbours in need. We provide food and emergency help to families to help prevent utility cutoffs and evictions. A relatively new challenge is helping the numerous homeless people in our community and helping with furniture and appliances when people do find housing.
As well we offer assistance to students in elementary to post-secondary education

Our Supporters
Many of our donations come from people who regularly give us a dollar or two each Sunday. Sometimes a supporter will write a larger cheque. Some companies give us the proceeds of a company fund-raising event. And a lot of our food comes from food drives from local schools.
