Chapters of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul are present all over the country, delivering on the society's goal of helping people in need.
St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County defines that mission broadly, with many facets to its operation.
One of the facets is building affordable housing, and the society just broke ground on new housing in Junction City, with additional units about to open up in Eugene (there's a waiting list).
Executive Director Terry McDonald walks us through the operations of SVDP in Lane County.
