Join As a Volunteer
We are looking for volunteers within
our community. Most communities have their own local St. Vincent de
Paul and we encourage you to join the one nearest to you. Those living
within Toronto, Ontario, Canada, within our community (Our
Boundaries) send us an email and we will send you more info
on how you can join.
Membership in the Society is considered in a wider sense to be a
summons or call to directly participate in service to the poor, through
a personal gift of heart and friendship within a lay community of
people animated by the same inspiration. Being a member of the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul involves a commitment to:
- Attend regular and confidential meetings
to discuss action and plans to assist the needy.
- Visit the poor in their homes to provide
material and moral assistance.
- Assist all people regardless of race,
creed, origin or any distinguishing characteristic.
- Address root causes of poverty and
injustice through awareness and support of the Special Works of the
Society.
- Pray and meditate on the spiritual
relationship of poverty and charity in service to the poor.
Vincentians seek to bear witness to the
love of Christ in their relationship with those in need. In the service
of one’s neighbour, especially the poor there is an encounter with the
suffering Christ. This is both a source of joy and a source of the
Vincentian vocation. The Society relies on all members to give freely
of their time as circumstances permit. The only requirement is a desire
to grow in personal holiness and befriend Christ’s poor.

Planned Giving

be in the form of regular of occasional gifts. However some donors may
wish their gift to the Society to be in the form of a Planned Gift.
These may be made in the form of an annuity, a bequest by will, an
insurance policy, a trust or gift of capital property. These have the
benefit of providing providing an income tax receipt to the donor while
maximizing the amount of benefit to the charity.
Bequest through a Will:
This is a future gift to the Society. It is established by making a
bequest in your will. Your estate will receive a tax receipt for the
full amount of your gift.
Gifts
of Life Insurance:
It is possible to maximize the size of your gift by designating the
Society as a beneficiary of life insurance policy. Payments of life
insurance premiums are considered to be a charitable donation and are
eligible for a tax receipt.
Lifetime
Income (Charitable Annuity):
This provides the donor with a lifetime, guaranteed income in exchange
for a sizable gift. There are several ways to structure this donation.
Under this method it is possible to receive the same after tax amount
for the rest of your life.
