The IHM Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a volunteer organization that provides financial assistance, counsel, and support to individuals and families experiencing unexpected crises, primarily in Andorra, Roxborough, Manayunk, and other nearby neighborhoods.

How We Are Funded

Funds used by the Society come primarily from your donations to the IHM Poor Box and to our Annual Appeal via a church envelope.  Because we are volunteers, all funds go directly toward assisting those in need.

How We Help

We provide compassionate services to families and individuals both Catholic and non-Catholic, struggling with financial difficulties or in need of guidance and spiritual help. We have paid bills for rent, utilities, medical expenses, car repairs, and more.  We have referred many to local counseling, food banks, and social services.

Is Someone You Know in Need?

If you know of someone in need, encourage them to call 215-483-1000 (the IHM Rectory) and ask for the SVDP HelpLine where they can leave a message with their call-back information.  Someone from our Society will contact them. Everything will be handled confidentially.
