For information or help from the Society, here at St. Francis, please call the Parish office at (206) 242-4575.

The Society is made up of volunteers from St. Francis who feel a special calling to help their neighbors in need. We serve an average of 50 neighbors-in-need per month here in Burien with the basic needs of life. We join with other Parish organizations (Outreach Ministry and the St. Francis of Assisi school) to provide special help to families at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Our conference holds meetings in a spirit of Christian fellowship on the first Monday of each month.

The help that is given out -- food, housing, utilities, household goods, and transportation -- is made possible entirely by the donations collected from St. Francis of Assisi church members. Their generosity is truly a blessing to our community.

Community Service Opportunity St. Vincent de Paul Society

The St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Francis of Assisi parish welcomes volunteers who feel a calling to serve the poor in our community. If you would like to do a little more for the "least of My brethren," consider spending 2-3 hours a week with us as we call on those who ask for our help. Orientation and training is scheduled for late October. If you are interested, please leave your name and contact information with the administration staff at the parish office.

The 8 St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores of the Seattle Area Council are in need of donations. All clean, usable clothes, furniture and household items would be greatly appreciated. Please help us serve the needy in our communities. You may bring your donations to any of our thrift stores or call (206) 767-3835
