As part of our direct services program which helped over 40,000 Long Islanders, our stores offer furniture, clothing, and other household items to people in need, at no cost. This occurs when Vincentians discover during home visits that a family doesn't have proper provisions for everyday living necessities, like a kitchen table on which to feed their children, or adequate beds to get a good night's sleep. In these cases, a furniture and/or clothing request is submitted on behalf of the family by our Vincentians for the items needed. The family is then given a voucher to present to one of our stores that will be fulfilled by a helpful employee.
Vincentian & Community Programs, including a program that helped almost 75,000 Long Islanders. Our Formation and Training Program benefits Vincentians as it delves into the history and spirituality of the Society, and in-depth home visit training. Our Family Assistance Program offers families in crisis temporary financial aid needed to get back on their feet. The UPLIFT program looks at the underlying root causes of poverty and works one on one with families to elevate them into self-sufficient living. A creative alternative to temporary assistance, UPLIFT empowers people to help themselves by giving them the long-term support to be independent.
Our Dismas House re-entry program departs from traditional institutional settings as our residents are in a safe, protected, and supportive environment that is structured to address the needs of this challenging, yet deserving population. Through on-site and outsourced rehabilitation, including spiritual guidance, our displaced residents develop the skills required to achieve independence. The circumstances of their homelessness vary, but all are given the tools and guidance necessary to support themselves and become productive members of the community.
