COVID-19

Updated 7/28/2020

In an effort to love our neighbors, staff, volunteers, and the people we serve, St. Vincent de Paul is implementing program changes to help our community fight the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. This page will be updated regularly as the situation develops. We will work to implement the recommendations of the CDC, Montana DPHHS, and the Montana Governor's Office as best we can.

Public Feedings

Because a significant share of our homeless population relies on St. Vincent de Paul for food, we will continue our public feedings for the time being. As of the Montana mask mandate, we have moved our food services outside.
