SVdP Naples is part of a Catholic lay organization with nearly 200 years of experience ‘mending the tears and frays’ in communities around the world. For over 50 years, SVdP Naples and its thousands of volunteers have been raising and judicially distributing good will in the form of temporary financial assistance, household goods, and food to families experiencing temporary economic challenges, delivering nutritious meals to our homebound elderly and disabled neighbors, and providing a warm smile and thoughtful “life advice and direction” to our Collier County neighbors.
Working at multiple locations across the county, SVdP Naples and its dedicated volunteers provide help for working families and individuals facing life’s unexpected challenges, nutritious food and a friendly visit with our homebound seniors and disabled neighbors, and critical advice and counsel for Collier residents, young and old.
Our neighbors in need work directly with Vincentian Caseworkers, who direct individuals to the appropriate services provided by SVdP Naples and connect them to community partners to ensure a continuum of care.
