Mission

Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) offers person-to-person service to the poor and suffering living in our community. In doing this work, we all enrich our lives spiritually. The Christ the King conference was established in 1957 and is part of the Yakima Valley SVdP Council.

Christ the King Conference Overview

Home visits are the core of our work. We make home visits within our parish boundary serving Richland, West Richland and Benton City to offer support and compassion, as well as help with utilities, rent, furniture, gasoline, food, and other services. We usually go on home visits in pairs, to talk with neighbors wherever they may be. We strive to see the face of Christ in everyone we serve.

How to Request Assistance

Those in need can call the St. Vincent de Paul Helpline at 509-946-1325. Calls may be left on our call line anytime and will be responded to within 24 hours. Please do not call the church office to request assistance.
