St. Vincent de Paul

Volunteers:
Parishioners serve those in need by making face-to-face home visits to distribute food and clothing vouchers. Some serve at the grocery store at the Griffith-Ballard towers in downtown Lexington, providing accessible shopping for those at this assisted living facility.

Mission Details:

• (Option 1) Home Visits- are made every Monday (except holidays) to six families.  Three teams of Vincentians visit two families each. Visits are made around 5:30 PM if you work full-time. Vincentians who are retired usually make visits as soon as they receive their assignment.
• (Option 2) SVDP Phone Line- one Vincentian answers the SVdP phone in the O'Neill Center on Monday mornings to take calls and see which families are eligible for assistance. Assignments are made (usually by late morning) for each team.
• (Option 3) Serve at the Griffith-Ballard- Work at the grocery store is shared with three other SVdP Conferences in Lexington. So the CTK Conference works at the store every fourth week. The store is open Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 4 PM and Saturday mornings from 9 AM to Noon.
• (Option 4) Assist with inventory/stock- Help is needed with shopping to stock the store, tracking inventory and stocking store shelves

 Meet the last Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm in the PLC.
