“The most powerful weapon to conquer evil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.”

St. Vincent de Paul

Spirituality. Friendship. Service. We are the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

We maintain a food pantry at St. Joseph Parish, and in partnership with 5 other St. Vincent de Paul conferences, operate a thrift store in Port Washington.

The Society Thrift Store plays an important role in providing assistance to those in need.

Through a staff of paid employees and volunteers we work to collect, evaluate and merchandise a variety of donated goods.
