In 2008, the generosity of St. Vincent de Paul donors helped the Society provide $4.7 million in direct financial assistance to families in need. With the additional distribution of $1.1 million through in-kind donations of furniture, clothing and food, and an estimated $2.6 million in volunteer service hours, 126,227 people were enabled to live better lives because of the services provided by the Society.

 
The Society operates very efficiently, with over 94% of all funds directly supporting programs and services.
