Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Founded in Paris in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide community of more than 800,000 lay Catholics, known as Vincentians, who join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to neighbors in need. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is a lay association of men and women volunteers freely gathered together to enhance their personal spiritual growth and development and, as a result of this growing spirituality, to act out their Faith commitment in service to one another and to the other needy of the community as a whole and of the Church. Vincentians (members of the Society) are established in groups known as Conferences, usually, but not always, affiliated with a Roman Catholic parish. The Rapid City Council consists of five conferences: Lead/Deadwood, Piedmont, Rapid City, Spearfish/Belle Fourche, and Sturgis/Newell.

Our mission is to serve the community by providing affordable clothing, home goods, furniture, and more, while also supporting local St. Vincent de Paul Conferences that assist individuals and families in need with housing, food, clothing, and other essentials.
