What Is SVdP Naples?

St. Vincent de Paul Society, Naples District Council, Inc. (“SVdP Naples”) is part of a worldwide, privately-funded, Catholic lay organization that delivers Meals on Wheels, teaches Life Skills, and provides Life Enhancement, Job Pathway, and Financial, Food, & Furniture Assistance to struggling seniors, individuals, and families in Collier County.

SVdP Naples is a District Council formed by SVdP Conferences inside seven (7) Collier County Catholic churches. The volunteer presidents of each conference serve 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, Job Pathway, Choice Pantry, and Life Skills Programs. 

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/civic groups, as well as earnings from its thrift stores (Naples & Bonita Springs).

 

SVdP Naples receives NO funding from any government, governmental agency, United Way, or the Catholic Church.
