The Epiphany of the Lord Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides temporary, emergency assistance to area residents in need. In addition, we attempt to ascertain and, hopefully, affect the cause of a person’s need. An important goal of working with the families we encounter is to help them achieve self-sufficiency. Focusing on the human dignity of every individual we meet, we do not discriminate with regard to race, creed, national origin, or marital status. Rather, we strive to see the face of Christ in all who call upon us.
How We Help--phone and in-person interviews at this time
Needs, as well as the assistance we offer, can take many forms. Job loss, underemployment, illness, inability to collect child support, or an unexpected expense can cause great financial and emotional hardship. Financial help with utility bills only and/or rent is one way in which we assist families. Referrals to other organizations or to individuals better suited to meet a need, such as employment or family counseling, is another service we provide.
Funding for our conference is provided primarily through the “purple” St. Vincent de Paul envelope in the monthly church envelope package and by faith direct. Other funding comes from individuals and Epiphany organizations: Bingo, Knights of Columbus, and Ladies Club. We also work closely with other organizations and agencies that provide assistance to our friends in need and thus ensure that appropriate help is obtained when needed.
Who We Are
All our activities are performed by volunteers. We presently do telephone and in-person interviews for everyone's safety comfort. Our members sign up for the days they are available to volunteer.
