  • Financial literacy
  • Neighbors who meet guidelines may also apply for assistance for basic needs including but not limited to emergency rent/utility assistance

Working Better Together

In 2021, St. Vincent de Paul launched its workforce development program, Working Better Together. Through this program, SVDP empowers new employees at its thrift stores with job readiness training, mentorship and the support of a small cohort.  While the program’s ultimate goal is to help employees retain full-time employment upon graduation, participants are given tools to expand their safety nets and develop supportive relationships in the workplace.
