Several members of St. Thomas volunteer with the St. Vincent dePaul Society in Bloomington. As part of the Mission of St. Thomas,
St. Vincent dePaul provides temporary financial assistance to needy individuals or families for utilities, rent, gas for auto, medical expenses or groceries. SVdP also provides furniture and appliances to needy individuals or families, free of charge. Financial donations are made by churches and individuals to support the financial assistance. Furniture and appliances are donated by Monroe County residents and taken to a warehouse where those in need that have a voucher and can select any five items, again all free. Deliveries to a residence are provided by volunteers with trucks for a $5.00 donation to St. Vincent dePaul.
How can St. Thomas help?
* Pray for those in need.
* Donate furniture or appliances, purchase food or gas cards or make a financial contribution.
