St. Vincent de Paul needs volunteers

LACONIA — The St. Vincent de Paul Society, a 501C3 organization, located at 1269 Union Avenue, is in need of volunteers for general office help, cashiers, clothing sorters and pricing for the Thrift Store. The Thrift Store is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Food Pantry is open Mondays from noon-2 p.m. and Wednesdays from 6-8 p.m. Families may come once a month (or more often if needed) to pick up food supplies to help stretch their budgets. Volunteers are also needed to work on Monday afternoons from noon to 2 p.m. and for donation pick-ups at local grocery stores Monday thru Saturday.

Donations for their Thanksgiving Basket Program are now being accepted and greatly appreciated.

The Children’s Foundation is now preparing for the Christmas Angel Program which will be held the first two weeks of December. For more information, stop by the Thrift Store and pick up a flyer or call 603-524-5740.

The Financial Assistance team is another important piece of the St Vincent de Paul Society. Financial teams of two meet with individuals to help access their needs and determine where financial help is needed. Call 603-524-5470 if you are in need of assistance.

If you are interested in volunteering please stop by and ask to speak to the store manager to fill out an application and state what position you are interested in.
