Volunteers of the Society (known as Vincentians) visit our friends in need in their homes to determine what kind of practical help they need. These Vincentians are called Home Visitors.
Home Visits allow us to provide personal support to those in need. SSVP is not simply a grocery delivery service, furniture supplier or clothing outlet. We are here to support people as we would support a friend, regardless of religion, colour or personal circumstances.
SSVP Edmonton serves the Greater Edmonton Area and Central Alberta -- individuals or families who are encountering difficulties in their lives.
