St Vincent de Paul has been in New Zealand for 157 years starting in Christchurch. We are a charity that exists to assist our community. We are volunteer based, with a few paid roles. Our members and volunteers make regular visits and give assistance to; individuals and families in need, the elderly and sick, those in our local prisons, and the homeless in our local communities. we have a welfare line that supports the providing of food, clothing, bedding, firewood, budgeting, advocacy and furniture. We support our community and refugees in need.

In Christchurch, we have hundreds of members and volunteers both young and old, doing good works throughout our community every day. We rely on donations of goods and money. There is no government funding presently and we receive some limited grant funding, but rely heavily on cash donations. In the current economic environment donation funding is hard to come by, but demand has grown, as have our expenses despite tight management of costs.
