San Antonio Community Resource Directory

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Southwest Texas is one of the longest-running charities in South Texas serving those in need throughout ten south-central Texas counties. For nearly 150 years, we have continued this mission in San Antonio, providing direct assistance to meet critical needs in our community.

Our network of 55 Conference sites, spanning almost 1,400 total square miles, allows our reach to extend across the South Texas community. Our programs (both emergency and long-term) provide food, clothing, household items, furniture, financial aid, school supplies, fans, case management, job training, budget counseling, housing search and placement, disaster recovery, and rent and utility assistance.

As the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Southwest Texas Council we also affiliate with St. Vinny’s Bistro® which provides three hot, nutritious meals each day,  365 days a year in the Courtyard at Haven for Hope. Through this work, we serve an average of 1,100 to 1,400 meals per day. In addition, sack lunches are provided for those who work in the community and medicinal meals are provided for those who need to take their medication with food.
