St Vincent de Paul Society

In the heart of Wellington, where compassion meets action, stands St Vincent de Paul Society - a beacon of hope and support for countless families in need. Established over 150 years ago, we have been weaving the fabric of our community, providing essential welfare services that extend beyond the immediate present, but towards a brighter, more sustainable future. Our story is one of love, resilience, and the unwavering belief in the potential within every individual. We are here to lend a helping hand, offering a wide array of support from Baby Assist, ensuring newborns experience nothing but warmth and care, to Kids Assist, providing enriching experiences that foster their growth and development. When hunger knocks, we are there with Food Parcels, filling bellies and nourishing bodies. Clothing a family is more than just supplying garments; it's about restoring dignity and self-worth. Through our Clothes & Goods Support, we offer quality items that help people feel valued and empowered. Our Visiting Service brings social workers into homes, offering guidance, support, and friendship during challenging times. But we do not stop there. We also strive to create opportunities through our Opportunity Shops, where quality second-hand goods are sold at affordable prices, giving people the chance to improve their lives while helping others. St Vincent de Paul Society is more than a name on a building; it's a community of caring individuals, each contributing their time, skills, and resources to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. We invite you to join us, as we continue our journey of love, service, and hope, shaping Wellington, one heart at a time.
