What Is SVdP Naples?

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Naples District Council, Inc. (“SVdP Naples”), part of a worldwide, privately-funded Catholic lay organization, delivers Meals on Wheels, teaches Life Skills, and provides Financial, Food & Furniture Assistance to homebound
seniors and adults, low-income individuals, and working families in Collier County.

SVdP Naples is a District Council formed by SVdP Conferences inside seven (7) Collier County Catholic churches, from which each volunteer president serves on the SVdP Naples Board of Directors. The seven conferences, along with the general public, supply SVdP Naples with volunteers for its Meals on Wheels and Life Skills Programs, as well as volunteer case workers for its Financial, Food & Furniture Assistance Program.

Founded upon Catholic principles and operating in our community since 1964, SVdP Naples welcomes volunteers, grantors and donors, as well as seniors, individuals, and families seeking assistance. Help is given to everyone in need, regardless of race, creed or color.

SVdP Naples is privately-funded through gifts, grants and donations from individuals, families, businesses, foundations and community groups, as well as the net profit from two (2) Thrift Stores (Naples & Bonita Springs). SVdP Naples receives no funding from the
Catholic Church or local/state/federal government.
