Please note that the St. Jerome ministry of St. Vincent de Paul is solely made up of volunteers. We get our funding from the generosity of our parishioners. The assistance we are currently giving is mostly limited to food, & clothing vouchers, but other assistance may be available, based on need. Please be advised that other assistance is not guaranteed, as it is dependent upon our financial ability to assist those in need and their ability to provide proof of crisis and other necessary documentation during a home visit.
You may also consider approaching other organizations listed alongside directly, as they are possible organizations that may be able to assist you.
