STORES DIVISION
Mandate
of the Stores Division:
The
Society of St. Vincent de Paul Stores’ Division bears
witness to our Christian faith through the solicitude and care
of those who lack adequate clothing and furniture. We act as
an intermediary between people who wish to donate and those in
need.
“Service
to the poor is the service of Christ himself.” Therefore the
Society aspires to serve and become part of communities that
are economically disadvantaged.
The
Stores’ Division endeavors to integrate the benevolent
assistance provided by Vincentians, local Parishes and
community volunteers in meeting the needs of justice and
charity in the community.
