Ways that you can help:
OFFICIAL SVdPUSA Hygiene Kit Drive
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is calling on all members and volunteers to help disaster victims! Society St. Vincent de Paul’s Disaster Services responds to disasters such as floods, wildfires, tornadoes and other events throughout the United States. Vincentians compassionately serve victims of disasters with immediate relief as well as long-term services. One urgent need for hurricane survivors is for personal hygiene kits. These kits are especially important for displaced persons trying to put their lives back together after having lost nearly everything. If every Vincentian purchased ONE kit, we would have enough kits for almost 100,000 individuals!
These hygiene kits cost less than $7 each and include a full bar of soap, a soap holder, and a 4-ounce bottle of shampoo and other items. The contents of these kits are tailored to the needs of the age group and gender. Also, you can purchase one, two, or a few – as many kits as you would like to purchase – you do not need to purchase full cases. All hygiene kits purchased will be shipped directly to the designated SVdP disaster relief location for distribution to people in need.
Thank you for your support and generosity!
