Thank you for supporting the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit.
We appreciate you thinking of us at this time, but with our locations closed and donation/furniture pick up services suspended indefinitely, we are not equipped to accept your generous donations. Donations left at unattended locations or at a drop off bin may create health and other safety and sanitation hazards, and, if exposed to any inclement weather, may not be suitable for use. Please hold on to your items until we are able to receive them safely and efficiently.
Our primary concern continues to be the health and safety of our staff, neighbors in need and community, along with fulfilling our civic duty to adhere to social distancing. Therefore, pursuant to the Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order, SVdPD retail stores, donation sites, drop off bins and donation pick up services are CLOSED until further notice. Updates will be shared via our website and social media channels on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Thank you.
SVdP East District Energy Assistance (EAP) Office is located in the lower level of the |

St. Vincent de Paul continues to process applications for EAP--the Energy Assistance Program! As we have done for the past 2 grant periods, SVdP-St. Clare is taking the lead on a collaboration of Vincentians from the surrounding parishes of our SVdP District—St. Matthew, St. Paul, Star of the Sea, St. Ambrose and St. Raymond. We are also serving people living in areas with no SVdP representation—St. Philomena, St. Jude, Assumption Grotto, and people who live where St. Peter and Queen of Heaven conferences have closed.
To be eligible for assistance, the energy bill must be in the applicants name, the bill must be at least at least $150.00 past due, and the household must meet the 2015 Federal Poverty Guidelines for Monthly income—see table. And there is some documentation required along with the signed and completed application.
Every other Saturday morning here at St. Clare—our next session is Feb. 6th--SVdP volunteers are processing EAP applications for people who have been pre-screened and are eligible for assistance. For more information or to request a pre-screening phone call, leave a message on our Assistance Line at 313-647-5062 and one of our volunteers will return your call.
