Working Together: Our Community Partners
No single organization can do it all.
At St. Vincent de Paul, we believe in the power of shared community. We work hand-in-hand with an incredible network of local agencies, local government resources, and regional non-profits to ensure that when a neighbor reaches out in a crisis, they receive a complete, wrap-around circle of support.
By collaborating, sharing resources, and referring clients to one another, we can maximize our collective impact and make sure no one falls through the cracks.
🍽️ Food Security & Emergency Nutrition
We coordinate closely with local pantries and meal programs to ensure every family and senior in our area has reliable access to healthy, nutritious food.
The Pelican Pantry (First Parish) — A vital local resource offering emergency groceries and pantry staples to individuals and families throughout the Newburyport area.
Our Neighbors’ Table — Based nearby in Amesbury, they provide a gorgeous, dignified grocery-store-style pantry layout and coordinate extensive food distribution networks across the entire region.
The Salvation Army (Newburyport Corps) — Coordinates emergency food boxes, seasonal assistance, and supplementary pantry supplies for local households.
