Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Diocesan Council
of Galveston-Houston
We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization serving the Greater Houston area since 1871. We are part of a national organization| New Window and linked by the common mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We are referred to as the Galveston-Houston Archdiocesan Council and are composed of 60 parish-based groups called Conferences. These independent groups of 5 to 100+ people, put their faith in action by responding to the needs of people in their local community. We, the Galveston-Houston Council, serve as a resource and support system for these Conferences.
The Society serves the needs of Greater Houston's growing community by way of a centralized Call Center, a Food Network, that includes 34 Food Pantries plus two Food DepotsĀ®, and two Resale Shops. In addition to our Thrift Shops and Food Network, we provide a variety of support services including a Home Visit program, a Voucher Ministry, an Advocacy program, and through education and collaboration with other organizations of goodwill, we widen the reach of our network in order to mobilize positive change for those in need.
