The Society of St. Vincent de Paul District Council of Sonoma County (SVdP-Sonoma), was founded in 1958 and is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

The agency serves anyone in need.

Our Thrift Store Returns!
Great news! Our St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store has reopened!
​
Our new business hours are 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Sunday.
​
Please Note: just because our brick-and-mortar store has reopened does NOT mean our online ones will close. Our online stores on eBay and Craigslist will continue to be open for business!​
​
You now have even more ways to shop and support your favorite local thrift store. Thank you for helping us help others!
Small Homes, Big Changes
It was an idea in January. By February, it was providing temporary shelter and services to the first of up 60 homeless Sonoma County residents at a time.
​
Thanks to the County of Sonoma and the people, partners, and supporters of St. Vincent de Paul Sonoma County, Los Guilicos Village is a life-changing reality. Check out the great video by the County of Sonoma here.
Thanks to Our Donors!
We couldn't do it without you!
