Mike Lyons SVdP Big Day of Giving Fundraising Page

It is once again THE BIG DAY OF GIVING and we are asking for your support of St. Vincent de Paul Roseville and it's mission of preventing hunger and homelessness in our community.  

The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Roseville, founded in 1983, is the largest privately funded supplier of human services in South Placer County.  Our mission is to provide basic human services and programs to prevent hunger and homelessness.  We provide hope and help for people in crisis … not just the homeless, but families who are struggling financially and are at risk of becoming homeless.  Our goal is to help people in need as they work towards self-sufficiency. 

Demand for our services, especially in the Food Locker, continued to grow in 2024, placing a strain on us. The number of households utilizing our Food Locker grew by 41% in 2024. In 2023, we assisted an average of 88 households per day, but by the end of 2024, that had risen to 124 households per day. In total, almost 19,000 households utilized our Food Locker in 2024. It is due to all of you that we have been able to keep up so far. But the Food Locker is now bursting at the seams.

            Given this, we have begun planning to remodel the warehouse to keep up with the needs of our community. With more people comes the need for more food and more storage. We need more cold storage and plan to add a larger walk-in refrigeration unit. This will require us to reconstruct the warehouse to fit the additional unit. We are also creating a plan to improve the flow of goods entering and leaving the food locker. 

            Please help us fund this project, which will allow us to continue to serve all who come to us for groceries to help feed their families.  Any donation would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your generosity.
