SVDP Georgia Essentials

There are so many reasons to volunteer with SVdP. 🙏 When we asked our high school volunteers at Blessed Trinity why they volunteer, this is what they had to say. "If you just have two hours of free time you can make a huge difference in someone else's life," said Cassidy. This summer, spend your free time serving others. 💙 Whether you have two hours or two weeks, together we have the power to change the lives of our neighbors facing hunger, housing instability, health challenges and so much more. 🔗 Learn more and join us at the link in our bio!

Happy birthday, Elijah! 🩵👶 On Wednesday, Candace welcomed her beautiful baby boy into the world. He is our third Marillac Moms baby and we couldn't be more grateful to be a part of this precious moment. 🍼 Just hours before Elijah was born, volunteers from @fullyfurnishedministries were in Candace's apartment assembling his crib and transforming her space into a welcoming home. By the end of the day, he had arrived. This is what Marillac Moms is all about. Every mother deserves a place to bring her baby home, surrounded by support from their community. Through Marillac Moms, expectant mothers experiencing housing crises receive stable housing and the resources they need to prepare for parenthood and build a brighter future for their families. Please join us in celebrating Candace and Elijah! 😊 🔗 Learn more about Marillac Moms at the link in our bio.

We’re proud to welcome Georgia Power and Gas South as the Co-Presenting Sponsors of the 2026 Morning of Hope! ☀️ These longtime partners have made an incredible impact on our mission. Georgia Power and the Georgia Power Foundation have contributed nearly $2 million since 2009, while Gas South has invested approximately $1 million over 17 years. Their employees have also given their time, talents, and hearts through volunteer service across our programs. ❤️‍🩹 Their support helps SVdP Georgia meet neighbors where they are, providing food, housing assistance, access to medicine, utility assistance and pathways toward greater stability. Thank you, @ga_power and @gas_south, for helping lead Our Mission for This Moment. 🗓️ Join us September 24 at Flourish Atlanta: svdpgeorgia.org/moh

Every thrift store has its stories. ✨ The vintage lamp that found a new home. The perfect outfit discovered at just the right moment. The piece of furniture that completed a room. Recently, our thrift store managers across Georgia gathered to share ideas and explore new ways to create even better experiences for our shoppers, donors, volunteers, and neighbors. 👚 Behind every thrift find is a team working hard to turn generosity into impact for communities across Georgia. Now we want to hear from you: 🤔 What's the best item you've ever found at an SVdP thrift store? Tell us in the comments—and bonus points if you have a photo of your favorite find!

Thank you to everyone who made Morning of Hope such a powerful expression of Our Mission for This Moment! Last week, hundreds of friends, partners, volunteers and supporters gathered to celebrate the people and partnerships helping Georgia neighbors find food, housing, healthcare and a path toward stability. The morning may be over, but the need continues. More than 30,000 calls for help reach St. Vincent de Paul Georgia each month. As our fiscal year closes on September 30, there is still time to carry this moment forward. A gift helps ensure that when the next neighbor calls, someone is there to answer.

Mariel’s work continues to help amplify the voices and realities of the neighbors we serve every day. We are incredibly grateful to have her as part of the SVdP leadership team. 👏 Congratulations, Mariel!

Today's a great day to give! 🤲 👕 On National Give Something Away Day, we encourage you to consider donating the items you no longer need to SVdP Thrift Stores. Your gently used clothing, furniture, decor, and more can help someone in need find stability. Proceeds from our thrift stores help provide food, housing assistance, prescription medications, and other critical support for neighbors facing hardship. Please invite your family and friends to join you. ❤️ Just one donation can help create hope for someone else. 🔗 Find a donation location near you at the link in our bio!

👕 Clothing is something many of us rarely have to think twice about. But for a neighbor facing financial hardship, having enough clothes for work, school, changing seasons or everyday life can become another source of stress. Millions of American families struggle with this challenge, and it is estimated that 2 in 5 children are clothing insecure. On National Clothing Insecurity Awareness Day, we’re recognizing the importance of access to clothing that helps people feel comfortable, confident and cared for. Through SVdP thrift stores, neighbors in need can receive vouchers to choose clothing and other essentials at no cost. The ability to choose allows each person to find what works for them while preserving the dignity and independence at the heart of our mission. Thank you to everyone who donates, shops and volunteers at our thrift stores. Your support helps make sure more of our neighbors have access to the essentials they need. ❤️ 📍 Find an SVdP thrift store near you at the link in our bio! #clothinginsecurityawarenessday #clothinginsecurity #thrift #thriftstore #thrifting

At SVdP, friendship is an essential element that shapes the way we serve. Every home visit starts by listening. Every conversation is an opportunity to build trust. Every relationship is a reminder that each person deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with dignity. ✝️ Blessed Frédéric Ozanam believed that when people come together to do good, they also grow closer to one another. That spirit continues to shape our mission today. This International Day of Friendship, we're grateful for every volunteer, neighbor, donor, and supporter who chooses to build community one relationship at a time. Together, we show that friendship has the power to restore hope and strengthen lives. Happy International Day of Friendship, Vincentians! 👫 #internationaldayoffriendship #friendship #friends #svdp #vincentian

152 Vincentians from across the Southeast gathered in Atlanta for the 2026 Southeast Regional Meeting, coming together to deepen their faith, strengthen their service, and learn from one another's experiences serving Neighbors in Need. 🙏 The event featured workshops focused on homelessness prevention, advocacy, leadership development, and Vincentian spirituality. As host, SVdP Georgia was honored to welcome fellow Vincentians and provide a firsthand look at the programs, services, and community partnerships helping Georgia neighbors access food, housing, healthcare, and pathways to stability. Thank you to everyone who traveled to Atlanta to share ideas, build friendships, and renew their commitment to serving Christ in those most in need. ❤️ #SVdP #Vincentians #NeighborsInNeed #FaithInAction #SVdPGeorgia #Service #Serve #Faith #Vincentian

🏡 Everyone deserves to live in a thriving community with access to quality, affordable housing. We're grateful to receive a grant from LISC Atlanta supporting the pre-development of The Vincent, SVdP Georgia's affordable housing initiative in Atlanta's Lakewood Heights neighborhood. 🏬 The Vincent is envisioned as a mixed-use community featuring quality affordable homes alongside retail spaces designed to serve residents and strengthen the surrounding neighborhood. This investment helps move the project from vision to reality by supporting the planning and preparation needed before construction begins. As Atlanta continues to grow, investments like The Vincent help create more opportunities for families to find stable, affordable housing while strengthening the neighborhoods they call home. Together, we're building stronger communities and expanding access to affordable housing where it's needed most. 🦺

That shirt hanging in the back of your closet could do more than you think. 👕 When you donate gently used clothing and household items to SVdP Thrift Stores, the proceeds help support neighbors across Georgia facing rising costs and growing uncertainty. 🍎 A donated jacket could help put food on a family’s table. 🏡 A box of household items could help keep someone housed. 🩺 A thrift store purchase could help a neighbor fill a prescription they otherwise couldn’t afford. Small acts of generosity can go a long way. We invite you to donate what you no longer need and encourage your friends, family, and community to do the same. 💙 Together, we can continue bringing Help and Hope to our neighbors across Georgia. 🔗 Find a donation center near you at the link in our bio!

Five students are joining the SVdP team this school year and we’re so excited to see the difference they’ll make for our neighbors! 👏 We recently joined Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School for Draft Day, where these talented students were selected to work with SVdP through the school’s Corporate Work Study Program. As they gain real-world experience, these students will also become part of the work happening every day at SVdP. Their time and talents will help support our team, strengthen our programs and contribute to the care we provide to neighbors across Georgia. As a founding partner of CWSP, we’re grateful to continue creating opportunities for students to grow while introducing a new generation to the impact of service. Welcome to SVdP! ❤️ We’re so glad to have you with us. #experientiallearning #service #volunteer #nonprofit #vincentian

1,000 families have found home with SVdP 🏡 This month, our Motel-to-Home program helped its 1,000th family move from an extended-stay motel into stable housing. Since the work began in 2019, those 1,000 families have included 1,662 children across 40 Georgia counties. We are both excited and humbled by this milestone, as it shows what is possible when neighbors love their neighbors while also highlighting the deep need for housing solutions in Georgia. Motel-to-Home helps families overcome the barriers that can keep them stuck paying costly weekly motel rates, from deposits and application fees to credit challenges and past evictions. And the impact continues long after move-in: 88% of participating families remain stably housed after one year. We’re so grateful to the families who have trusted us, the partners who have invested in this work, and everyone who has helped turn 1,000 new beginnings into reality. There are still thousands of Georgia families waiting for the opportunity to call somewhere home. Join us in our mission. 🔗 Learn more and get involved at the link in our bio!

🏡 We’re thrilled to share an important step forward for The Cottages of providence! The Cumming City Council unanimously approved a resolution supporting the project as it moves forward. The Cottages of Providence will help address a critical need in Forsyth County by creating supportive housing for neighbors experiencing housing instability, with special priority for veterans and seniors. We are grateful to the community members and advocates whose presence, encouragement and support helped make this moment possible. ❤️ The work continues, and you can be part of what comes next. 🔗 Learn more and support The Cottages of providence at the link in our bio! #CottagesOfProvidence #SupportiveHousing #ForsythCounty #SVDPGeorgia

One of the guiding principles of the Society of SVdP is simple: "No work of charity is foreign to the Society." 🌎 That principle came to mind as we participated in the Atlanta International Night Market in Chamblee this month. As neighbors from countless cultures, countries, faith traditions, and backgrounds gathered to share food, art, music, and community, we were reminded of the diversity of the people we serve every day across Georgia. 👫 While every story is unique, every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. For nearly 200 years, St. Vincent de Paul has served neighbors in need without regard to race, creed, nationality, faith, or circumstance. 🙏 Events like the Night Market are a beautiful reminder that our differences enrich our communities, while our shared humanity connects us all. ✨ Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. We were grateful for the opportunity to connect, listen, learn, and celebrate the many cultures and experiences that make our communities stronger. Because no matter where we come from, we are all neighbors.

Asking for help can already feel difficult. 💬 Having to explain what you need in a language you’re less comfortable speaking can make it even harder. This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re highlighting the importance of making support accessible to every neighbor who comes through our doors. 🚪 At SVdP, Spanish-speaking team members like Paige Cruz help remove language barriers so neighbors can explain what they’re going through, ask questions and understand the resources available to them, whether they’re visiting our food pantry, applying for benefits or looking for other support. For Paige, making sure every neighbor feels heard is personal. Her sister experienced homelessness and struggled with addiction before passing away, and sees her sister in the neighbors she serves each day at SVdP. ❤️ She hopes someone was there to offer her sister the same care she now has the opportunity to give others. Language should never be the reason someone misses out on help. We’re so grateful for Paige and our bilingual team members who make it easier for more neighbors to share their needs, feel understood and connect with the support they came looking for. 🎧 Hear more from Paige in her recent Spanish-language interview at the link in our bio!

Congratulations to Brian Goldstone on being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his powerful work highlighting the rise of working homelessness across our country. We were honored to welcome Brian as our keynote speaker at Morning of Hope, where his words reflected so much of what we see every day here in Georgia—families working hard, yet still struggling to find stable housing. This national recognition affirms a reality we encounter every day: more families are working, but still unable to access a place to call home. As this conversation continues to grow, we’re reminded that behind every headline is a family—and that change happens one neighbor at a time. 👉 Read more about what this looks like in Georgia and how we’re responding at the link in our bio! #WorkingHomelessness #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #MorningOfHope
