We won’t end poverty with Aid. We will end poverty through opportunity. Opportunity comes first and foremost with a chance at a satisfying livable wage job. Even more important than our assistance programs is the fact that our organization now employs over 25 full, part-time and seasonal staff at competitive wages and good benefits. Many of our staff remain with us for many years and a good number came to us as recipients of our assistance or through referral by other service agencies.
Our workers contribute to our mission and receive a sense of purpose as well as a paycheck. We are extremely proud of our St. Vincent team. We ask a great deal of them and are grateful for their effort they give each and every day.
