      The Society of St. Vincent de Paul conference of St. Thomas More and St. Laurence Parishes serves the west side of Elgin, IL. It is a Catholic lay organization and part of an international society whose mission is to provide service to all who are in need or are suffering.   
        
      ·We provide help through person-to-person contact. We meet with our Friends in Need where they live and provide prayer and material support. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique.  
        
      ·No work of charity is foreign to the Society.  

        • We provide both spiritual and material assistance to our Friends in Need. Our assistance may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service.
        • Financial assistance is provided to individuals and families in emergency situations. For example: utilities, housing, medication, and transportation, etc.    

      ·The Society recognizes that it must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless.  
        
      ·We help Friends in Need regardless of religion, ethnic or social background, health, gender, or political opinions. 
        
      ·Members of the Society give their time and talents voluntarily; 100% of your donation goes to help people in need in our community. 
       
      ·In the past year our conference was able to help, through donations like yours, 949 people living within the boundaries of both the St. Thomas More and St. Laurence parishes on the west side of Elgin. 
        
       
      We would love for you to be a part of this ministry!  There are many ways to participate. 
      *Active members participate regularly in meetings and visits to the poor.  They act as Leads who arrange and lead home visits and complete post-visit activities.  Seconds are members who accompany leads on home visits.  Additional roles include fielding phone messages, coordinating special events, interpreting for Spanish-speaking Friends in Need, organizing fundraisers, managing our social media, and serving as conference officers.                   
      *Associate members are members who are unable to attend meetings on a regular basis but help out as needed.
      *Contributing members are members who provide monetary support to the conference, but do not engage directly in our work.

      Call us at (847) 628-5170.  Leave a message and we'll get back to you with more information. 


       
      If you are in need of assistance and prayer, call us at 847-628-5170.  Please leave your name, address, phone number, and a brief description of your need.  Someone will get back to you within 24 hours.  We are volunteers and use our personal phones and therefore block our numbers when returning calls.  Please make sure your phone can accept blocked phone numbers.
