The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, St. Mary of the People Conference operates a thrift store and provides direct financial assistance to people experiencing poverty in Oshawa and the surrounding region. Volunteers visit clients in their homes to understand their circumstances and connect them with material support, including groceries, clothing, and help with rent or utility payments. The organization also runs a food bank and offers emergency assistance to families facing unexpected hardship. By combining personal outreach with practical aid, the conference addresses immediate needs while building relationships within the community. All proceeds from their thrift store support these programs.
