Volunteer
We love volunteers! Last year, volunteers provided more than 80,000 hours of support to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County (SVdP)
- the equivalent of 42 full time staff positions! Volunteers help with all aspects of the organization, ranging from serving food to providing administrative support to painting. In all cases, volunteers help to promote human dignity and improve the lives of the poor.

The
Visitation Center (a drop in center for homeless
women and children, located near downtown Oakland)
and main administrative offices of the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County are seeking
artists to help us harness the artistic potential
of the youngsters who use our drop in services.
Important themes
we would like to explore are homelessness and
recycling, utilizing the creative forces of the
children ages 3-12. The Society is rich in recyclable
resources such as paper and cardboard. We also
have a variety of art supplies at our disposal.
The children are
with us between 9:00 and 2:00, Monday through
Friday. Many of our younger-than-school-age children
speak Spanish as their primary language. School-aged
children are often more comfortable in English.
