Back-to-School Program

The St. Vincent de Paul Back-to-School Program helps struggling
families get their  children off to a good school start!  Each child
is offered a back pack or book bag, basic school supplies (grade
appropriate K – 12 valued at $32.00) and a $15.00 Walmart gift
card. The event is held annually mid August. 

Get Help

To request Back-to-School assistance, contact the Catholic parish
closest to where you live and ask to speak with a member of
St. Vincent de Paul. The conference member will refer you to the
program. Locate a St. Vincent de Paul conference HERE.
