St. Vincent DePaul Society
The society is an international Catholic organization committed to helping those in need. Our Glynn County conference manages outreach efforts from our thrift store at 1217 Newcastle Street in Brunswick, Georgia.
The conference is composed of volunteers from St. Francis Church in Brunswick and Jekyll Island, St. William Church on St Simons Island, and associates from the local community.
In addition to operating a thrift store, the society maintains a food pantry and a financial assistance office where we meet directly with clients to assess their food and clothing needs and provide funds, when available, for other necessities such as utilities, prescription medicines and gasoline. Funds for our assistance effort are obtained from monthly church collections and individual donations.
Our goals for 2007 focus on continuing improvements to our thrift store, which we purchased in late 2004. These include a new front door, new rear pantry door, flooring for the front area of our store and assistance area, updated phone system, and reconfiguration of our primary work space.
Our thrift store is open weekdays from 10 to 4. Phone number: 912-262-6027
Our financial assistance office is open on Mondays and Thursdays.
