Meet Tom, Director of Vincentian Support – Formation

Meet Tom, who has been with SVdP for just shy of three years.  For a few months, he was the coordinator of the Sacred Heart Food Bank.  Tom was then promoted as the Director of Social Support Services, such as Case Management and the Help Line.  He now is SVdP’s Director of Vincentian Support – Formation.

“St. Vincent de Paul does two things that I really appreciate.  One, they truly respect the dignity of those we serve.  We just don’t serve numbers, we serve people and it is highly expected that we treat all those we serve with respect and compassion.  I also like the way SVdP is thinking creatively in how to address the needs of marginalized persons.  Whether it is developing cognitive programs that help people think differently or bringing in nurses to support persons health, we are seeking to holistically understand and respond to poverty.”
