By remembering the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in your Estate planning, you can ensure that this legacy of “neighbors helping neighbors” continues to provide a vital safety net for future generations in Concord and Carlisle. It means more than you know to have your enduring support as we continue our mission of serving others with empathy and compassion.

We are totally funded by private donations from our communities. We are all volunteers so there are no paid staff and 99 percent of your contribution goes to helping neighbors in need.

In 2024, we helped 88 families and disbursed $110,000 in aid to neighbors in crisis. The assistance included paying for food, holiday meals, rent, heating bills, auto repair, etc. In addition, we often coordinate with other agencies in town – Concord Community Services, Hugh Cargill Trust, Open Table, Council on Aging, etc. – to assure that the family can access the resources they need.

Some may believe that the towns of Concord and Carlisle would not have neighbors in need but sadly that is not the case. It only takes one incident or life change to very quickly put an individual or family in crises, such as:

  • Losing a job;
  • Inability to pay for car repair affecting ability to work;
  • Domestic violence survivors trying to get back on their feet;
  • A sudden death or a family’s primary caregiver;
  • Illnesses adding to financial drain.
