When Neighbors Need Help, We're There
Georgia’s Need Is Real.
In Georgia, 1 in 8 people—and nearly 1 in 5 kids—face hunger. Over a million families struggle to keep a roof over their heads, and many hardworking neighbors can’t afford the medicine they need. These aren’t just numbers—they’re real lives facing tough battles every day.
St. Vincent de Paul Georgia exists to stand alongside these neighbors during their hardest moments. We deliver more than immediate aid — we offer hope, dignity, and a path forward.
Our work addresses issues fundamental to stability, self-sufficiency, and long-term success by:
Decreasing hunger/food insecurity
Increasing housing stability
Increasing healthcare access
St. Vincent de Paul Georgia provides a spectrum of safety net social services to give both immediate help and also hope for a self-sufficient future.
Personalized, Neighbor-to-Neighbor Care
What sets us apart is our unique, holistic approach. With over 3,200 Vincentian volunteers living right here in Georgia’s communities — plus our dedicated team at the Conference Support Center in Chamblee and countless other volunteers — we provide personalized, face-to-face support through one-on-one encounters and home visits.
Our Vincentians don’t see neighbors in crisis as clients; they see them as fellow community members. This personal connection fosters genuine relationships rooted in respect and trust — moving beyond transactional charity toward lasting change.
A Mission Guided By Faith and Justice
At the heart of our work is a deep spiritual commitment. Vincentian service is a vocation motivated by love — to love God by loving our neighbor. This calling inspires us to advocate for social justice and systemic change alongside providing direct support.
Our Conference Support Center In Chamblee
Our Conference Support Center in Chamblee is the heartbeat of St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s statewide mission. Beyond offering critical direct services—like our Motel to Home program, Free Pharmacy, Food Distribution, and Thrift Stores—it serves as the backbone supporting over 3,200 Vincentian volunteers across the state.
From this hub, we coordinate outreach efforts, provide training and spiritual formation, and ensure our local Conferences remain strong and compliant with 501(c)(3) requirements. The Center also offers life-changing programs including benefits assessments, life skills workshops, and job readiness training—equipping our neighbors with the resources and confidence to rebuild their lives.
Localized Support Across Georgia
From Blairsville to Brunswick, Lake Hartwell to Lagrange, and everywhere in between, SVdP Georgia provides help and hope to neighbors in need across Georgia. With 76 Conferences (local chapters) statewide, our volunteers understand the unique needs of their neighborhoods. This localized model ensures no one in crisis is beyond our reach. We offer a wide range of services — from emergency financial aid and food to clothing, housing assistance, and healthcare referrals — addressing multiple needs to provide real solutions.
