Every family faces some type of crisis on occasion, but in the remote hollows of Eastern Kentucky the emergencies are intensified by isolation, poor roads and limited finances.

St. Vincent Mission gives Christian service to people by providing food, clothing and household items or assistance in reaching the proper agency where help can be found.  Help with an unexpected car repair, loss of home to fire, rent, medical needs or increase utility cost may also be given.

Eligible applications who are physically able give community service hours to St. Vincent Mission in exchange for financial assistance.

In 2009, 126 families received $14,642 in funds. Of those families, 67 had a member who gave community service.  St. Vincent Mission benefited with 501 hours of community service labor.  If you wish to donate to our Emergency Needs program, please click on the link below.
