Direct Aid

Direct Aid    678-892-6163

The Society’s mission is to help people in need to not only survive whatever crisis they are facing – financial, medical or personal – but to help get them “back on their feet.” Direct aid or assistance is the heart of the work of the local Conferences. Assistance is offered on a personal basis and is provided with respect and dignity.

Conferences receive requests from clients. Trained home visitors, commonly called Vincentians, conduct face-to-face meetings generally in the client’s residence to understand the clients’ circumstances first-hand and determine the appropriate assistance. The Society provides financial assistance for a range of needs including:

• Medical/dental/prescriptions                                                                                  
• Counseling
• Rent and housing
• Utilities
• Food
• Legal fees
• Transportation
• Burials
