Life can change quickly. For many families in Barron County, one unexpected expense can start a downward slide toward housing instability.
At the Society of St. Vincent de Paul-St. Joseph Conference, we meet neighbors in that moment— providing emergency rent and utility assistance to help them stay safely in their homes.
Together, we can stop the slide before it becomes a crisis.
Right now, your impact goes even further.
Thanks to a generous matching grant, every $1 you give becomes $2.50 in support for families in need.
Your Gift in Action
- $50 → $125 helps prevent a utility shutoff
- $100 → $250 helps keep a family current on rent
- $200 → $500 helps prevent eviction and stabilize a household
A moment of crisis doesn’t have to become long-term hardship.
Because of you, it won’t.
