At the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Long Island (SVDPLI), we see firsthand how acts of generosity can transform lives and bring light to those in dark times. Our organization is dedicated to helping individuals and families facing hardships by providing essential resources, including financial assistance, clothing, furniture, and more. We also offer emotional and spiritual support to help uplift those who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. 

Every donation—whether monetary, clothing, furniture, or time—serves as a lifeline, ensuring that struggling neighbors receive the help they need to regain stability, dignity, and hope. Your support is the foundation of our mission, enabling us to create meaningful change in the lives of so many on Long Island.

SVDPLI’s Essential Programs: How We Help Our Community

Your donations make it possible for SVDPLI to offer a range of vital services that directly benefit the community. These include:

  • Financial Assistance: Monetary contributions allow us to provide emergency aid for rent, utilities, medical bills, and other urgent needs. This immediate support helps families avoid crises such as eviction or utility shutoffs.
  • Thrift Store Initiatives: Donations of gently used clothing, furniture, and household goods are sold in our thrift stores, with proceeds funding community programs. Additionally, families in need can receive vouchers to shop for essential items at no cost.
  • Spiritual and Emotional Support: Your generosity extends beyond material aid. It enables our Vincentians to provide emotional and spiritual comfort, visit families in their homes, and offer a compassionate ear during tough times.

Ways to Donate and Support SVDPLI

There are many ways to contribute to SVDPLI’s mission:

  1. Monetary Donations: Financial gifts provide immediate relief and allow us to address pressing needs quickly. Give a one time donation or join our monthly donor program
  2. Clothing, Furniture, and Home Goods: Gently used items can be dropped off at our thrift stores or placed in our conveniently located donation bins across Long Island.
  3. Volunteer Your Time: If you can’t donate items, consider volunteering with us to directly support your community.
