Voice of the Poor

Voice of the Poor (VOP) is the advocacy arm of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. With members representing every section and demographic of the nation, we identify issues critical to those living in poverty and need, and help bring attention to them so communities and elected officials can help develop strategies and tactics that will provide the most effective and efficient means to reduce or eliminate poverty.

“I beg you for the love of God to show great tenderness to the poor.”

– St. Louise de Marillac
