Welcome to the St. Vincent De Paul Society in Bloomington, Indiana. |
|
We are an all volunteer society that seeks to grow in spirit and
fellowship by serving those in need. Anyone who is in need is eligible to receive our help without regard to the person's race, faith, religion or
creed.
St. Vincent de Paul is Catholic led, but is open to all who wish to serve Christ by serving others. In Bloomington, we currently have volunteers from the three local Catholic parishes, St. Charles, St. John's and St. Pauls as well as from St. Thomas Lutheran Church and others. What kind of help do you provide? We provide community resource information and limited financial help. We also collect and distribute donated furniture and appliances to those in need through a voucher system. Who do I contact if I need help? If you need help please leave us a message with your contact information on our voice mail . The number is 812-965-1510. You may also contact us by sending an email to help@bloomingtonsvdp.org. In either case someone will attempt to contact you usually within 24 hours if during a weekday and within 48 hours if on a weekend. Who do I contact if I want to donate furniture or appliances? We can pick up your useable furniture and large appliances free of charge if you contact us. To contact us by phone, leave a message on our new voice mail number at 812-961-1510. To contact us by email please send a message to pickup@bloomingtonsvdp.org Please include the type of furniture or appliances you wish to donate, your address and a phone number. Someone will contact usually within 24 to 48 hours. Special note to businesses: If you are a furniture store, apartment complex or other business that would like to donate to us on regular basis we can provide you with access to our storage units for dropoff or we can schedule regular pickups. Are my donations tax deductible? Yes all donations whether furniture or financial are tax deductible to the full extent of the law and we will provide you with a receipt upon request. How do I make a financial donation? Donations to help us help the needy can be sent to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, 1105 N Jackson, Bloomington, IN 47404. Checks should be made out to St. Vincent de Paul Society. I would like to volunteer; what can I do? We have need for volunteers in three areas:
Phone Ministers: Volunteers retrieve messages from our voice mail and return calls to persons that call in for help and wish to make donations. For those
needing help the phone minister is able to provide information about local resources and if needed assign SVDP volunteers to visit the caller in their home.
Home Visitors: Volunteers go in pairs to visit those in need in their homes. The home visitors offer support and determine what assistance is needed.
Furniture Ministers: Volunteers pickup furniture and appliances from donors and help distribute to those in need. Time is very flexible. |
