St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County’s Post

💙 Match a Gift Today 💛 Every dollar donated before midnight will be doubled up to $1,000 thanks to the kindness of a dedicated supporter. One of the neighbors your support helps is Shakira. Shakira first came to St. Vincent de Paul nearly 20 years ago after learning she was expecting her son. At the time, she was attending art school with little family support and did not know where to turn. At our community center, Shakira found infant supplies, support services, and compassionate care for women and children. Over the years, St. Vincent de Paul has remained part of her support system as she raised her children, providing resources, community, and family events that reminded her she was not alone. ❤️ “You come to St. Vincent, you add another community of people that really care,” Shakira shared. “I come here, my kids be needing stuff and I don’t got it...When I leave here, I get home I look like Super Mom.” Every day, our community center welcomes more than 80 guests with clothing, laundry, showers, hygiene products, and support services in a safe and welcoming environment. At St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County, we believe generosity should be put into action quickly. Donations made today go directly to work helping neighbors facing hunger, homelessness, and hardship throughout our community.
