Sometimes someone needs a helping hand, encouragement, friendship and hope to make it through the tough times.  The Society St. Vincent de Paul Detroit has been reaching out, and helping those in need, regardless of faith, creed, race, social background, health or gender for over 135 years.  All our welcome at our door!

We believe everyone deserves respect, compassion and care regardless of what zip code they live in or the circumstance that brings them to us. We stand for those who have been forgotten, excluded, and who don’t always have a voice – the hungry, the underserved and those who just need a friend or a helping hand.

Through outreach programs that include emergency services, food, clothing, utility and rent assistance, disaster relief services and a free summer camp for boys and girls, we empower people at critical moments on their journeys and help lift them from poverty towards a more stable path.  Like that of our founder, Frederic Ozanam, our vision is to embrace the world in a network of charity to impact poverty through systemic change. 

Our mission is to build a more just world through personal relationship with and service to people in need. 

We are the today’s Society of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit, and we believe everyone should be able to See the Possible of a better tomorrow, and a brighter future.
