St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin

St. Vincent de Paul Society is the primary provider of human services to homeless and very low-income people in Marin County, and a leader in safety net services not offered by others.

Founded in Marin in 1946, St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin is an independent nonprofit that has served the people of Marin for 78 years. They are governed by a local Board of Directors and are solely responsible for fundraising and program operations; all contributions serve the needs of very low-income and homeless people of Marin.

Because they believe in the dignity of all people, St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin’s mission is to provide compassionate, individualized assistance to help our most vulnerable neighbors obtain nutritious food, affordable housing, meaningful employment, and a voice in the community.

They believe that everyone needs food, shelter, dignity, and a chance for a better life – no one can do it alone. They provide compassionate care and critical services to residents of Marin who are struggling to make ends meet and not receiving the help they need elsewhere.

Since 1946, their crisis assistance programs have grown to support more than 8,000 people annually in Marin. Their core services include:
