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.

Interested
in doing something meaningful but don't have time?
The Society wants to engage your giving nature
from where you are.
The Society's drop
in centers for men and women in Downtown Oakland
have shower facilities. We provide our guests
with a variety of hygiene products including soap,
shampoo, razors, deodorant, and lotion.
Maybe you have
such items laying around the house? Maybe you're
one to collect the shampoos and other items offered
by hotels and you have a stash "just in case?"
Maybe you have a collection of products which
didn't work for you but you don't want to throw
them away? We need them.
If you are in an
office, dorm or group, we can provide you with
everything you need to collect these items for
donation to the Society. We'll give you a box
as well as a sample email/flyer to distribute
and get the word out. When it's full, call us
and we'll pick it up! |
