SVP members visit individuals and families who have requested help in their local communities.
St. Vincent De Paul (SVP) members visit individuals and families who have requested help in their local communities. Most towns/villages have an SVP conference (group) and the core work is visitation. SVP members can help by offering friendship and support to service users and also help in practical ways by providing assistance to purchase food, heat, clothes etc.
