Charitable assistance is available both to transients and local residents. New clients will first be referred to the Custer County welfare Department in order to make use of any public assistance program for which they may be eligible. Clients who do not qualify for public assistance are sent back to us. St. Vincent de Paul may assist with meals and one night's lodging for transients. Local residents may qualify for rental or utility assistance through an application process.
Applications are available at the store.
The Board of Directors of St. Vincent de Paul makes all decisions on rental or utility requests. Clothing, furniture and household items may be provided through the store. St. Vincent de Paul provides monthly financial support to the Custer County food Bank. Requests for food assistance are therefore, referred to the Food Bank. Photo identification is required for assistance.
