Community Focus

Since 1981, St. Vincent de Paul has helped the disadvantaged of Bend’s Community in a caring and compassionate manner. Last year we provided over 493,680 nutritious meals to 23,173 adults and 9,739 children. In addition, St. Vincent’s offers low income housing and has assisted several hundred families so that they could keep their electricity on. Those who cannot afford much needed prescription medication can find help here at St. Vincent’s. During the cold months, we also provide folks with warm coats, blankets and propane vouchers.

Helping Our Neighbors
