EMERGENCY NEEDS - Because our needs and those of our clients keep escalating we are always trying to recruit more volunteers that can help us in our ministry and help us to finance it and make people aware of our ministry. We are looking for people who can maintain a Website, in order to make the community aware of our mission and assist us in securing grants and donations. Background Statement The Society of St. Vincent de Paul was founded in 1833 by Frederick Ozanam along with a group of students who started out to visit the poor of Paris in their homes, taking them bread and clothes, their friendship and their concern. This small group took as their patron St. Vincent de Paul who alerted the world to social problems. Similar groups began in Paris, then in the rest of France, and eventually spread throughout the world with the object of visiting those in need. Statement from the Board Chair There was a point in my life where I needed financial and moral assistance. I was lucky enough to have family and friends to rely on, not everyone is that lucky. w it is my turn to help others and the St. Vincent de Paul Society is the perfect fit for me. As President of the St. Vincent de Paul Conference I started attending community meetings in order to see how we can together help the people of Manatee County. We are now working with other organizations helping each other and our respective clients. The St. Vincent de Paul Society is an all volunteer organization that relies on donations to help those in need. There is such a tremendous need in Manatee County that we had to look for financial assistance beyond just our Parish, Ss. Peter and Paul the Apostles in Bradenton, FL. Thus we started writing grants and became aware of the Giving Challenge. The Giving Challenge gave us a tremendous boost last year to help more people than we ever had before. We are always looking for more people to help in our mission. We need someone to attend some of these community meetings, help develop a Web Site and someone to be in charge of publicity to keep us in the public eye.i also volunteer with Stillpoint House of Prayer, The Manatee Players Theatre, and co-chair the Solve Rummage sale and still go back to Chicago to work the Lake County Catholic Charities Christmas Gift Program. But, St. Vincent de Paul is my number 1 project and I have also become the St. Vincent De Paul Disaster representative for Manatee and Sarasota Counties, so this means I also attend the local COAD and VOAD meetings besides going to conferences and classes on Disaster Awareness and preparedness. PLEASE HELP US TO CONTINUE HELPING OTHERS. Statement from the CEO/Executive Director Areas Served 3

Clients are generally able to sustain their own expenses after receiving the critical two week period after their hospital or court release. Before approving the initial expense, we speak with the case manager assigned to the client and before approving the second week of expense, we talk with the Recovery House manager to check on the status of the client's progress. One client was on the way back to his home (where he had encountered the problems of his addiction) and was calling one of the recovery homes to see if a bed was available. We were able to pay for this bed space in that recovery house and he was then in a positive environment. This particular man ended up being a counselor in one of the recovery homes and has gained back his children. FOOD ASSISTANCE Description We provide 24 hours emergency food bags for those in need.

The need keeps growing in Manatee County for people who need financial assistance. Most of our assistance is for utilities to be put back on or keep them on.
