St. Vincent de Paul, 2424 N. Pacific Highway (Hwy 99), Medford, Oregon 97501, 541-772-3828 Leading with Vincentian Spirit From the writings of St. Vincent de Paul “The streets will be long and unfriendly. The stairs will be steep, and the poor often ungrateful. You will find that charity is a heavy burden to carry – heavier than the bowl of soup, heavier than the full basket, but you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give bread and soup. This the rest can do. You are the servant of the poor. You are always smiling. You are always good humored. The poor are your masters. You will find them terribly exacting. So the more unjust and insulting they are, the more unattractive they are, the more dirty they are, the more love you must give them. It is for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the crust of bread you give them.” The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul The Rogue Valley Council of St. Vincent de Paul is dedicated to providing compassionate support to the poor, regardless of race, creed, sex, sexual orientation or ethnic origin. Each Council is locally organized, funded and staffed. Our Council has no financial obligation to any church and no effort is made to preach, convert or proselytize. We have no paid employees and rely on 200+ volunteers to provide all of our services. We own our own land and buildings, so pay no rent or mortgage. Overhead costs such as insurance, utilities and repairs are paid for from Thrift Store revenues. All donations we receive go directly to helping the needy. St. Vincent de Paul has been featured in two "Providence Minute" segments starring Fr. Jim Clifford and airing on NBC KOBI5.
