If you are in need of assistance from the St. Vincent de Paul Society, please contact the parish office of your community at 508-384-3373 (St. Mary, Wrentham) or 508-699-8543 (St. Martha, Plainville). The parish office will then make the referral, on your behalf, to the St. Vincent representative.
The St Vincent de Paul organization provides aid in the form of food, clothing and financial assistance to those with demonstrated need. When a person is seeking assistance, a home visit by two representatives from St. Vincent’s will occur to judge the merit of the request.
After evaluating the circumstances, a determined course of action will be taken which may include assitance from St. Vincent de Paul or referral to other community resources.
If the St. Vincent team determines that financial aid is warranted, the payment is made directly to the business or vendor providing services and not directly to the individual.
St. Vincent de Paul is not an ongoing source of assistance for any one client, but instead a means of assisting someone in their acute situation of need.
All requests for assistance are handled in a confidential manner.
