Overview

Mission

A network of friends, inspired by gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to those in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

The st. Vincent de paul community pharmacy demonstrates excellence in providing medical prescription services to those in need. This program is improving the quality of life for many of the needy by filling life sustaining prescriptions for illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. The program is a pharmacy of "last resort" for the elderly, poor and homeless who would otherwise go without their much needed medical prescriptions. The community pharmacy fills over $1 million worth of prescription medicines annually. A large group of volunteers made the pharmacy a reality. These dedicated volunteers include physicans who donate samples, pharmacists who donate their time and skill, and numerous volunteers who pick-up samples, sort and stock medications, and meet with patients. In addition, the pharmacy provides no-cost over the counter health care and hygiene items, and donated durable medicale equipment. Svdp pharmacy also works with a network of volunteer dentists to provide no cost, urgent dental care to those in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
