FREEZIN’ 4 REASONS: Great need for area homeless families
 In the midst of the worldwide, state, diocesan and local closures, disruptions and uncertainties from the pandemic Coronavirus COVID-19, the St Joseph SSVdP Conference will celebrate with an in-person event of our 11th Annual “Freezin’ 4 Reasons”. 

President Pete Mayhew stated, “The in-person “Freezin’ 4 Reasons” event will be held Friday, March 26th from 3:15 to 8:30 pm at a NEW LOCATION:  Wisconsin Excellence Bldg – 1320 Main Street InVenture North Bldg.  When you greet the students with your coins or cash, please wear a mask! Thank you for keeping our students safe!”

The youth have been receiving pre-event funds after church masses and collecting from their neighbors and relatives.  These collections will provide shelter and eviction prevention for local homeless families throughout the next year.  They will continue to seek sponsors until the event March 26th.

Our St Joseph Conference has collected $$ thus far, as matching funds.  We thank local residents, and have applied for matching grants from Catholic Financial, Thrivent Financial, Thielen Funeral Home and Wisconsin Public Service.  

The youth will collect this weekend  March 6-7th from second collections from Holy Family Parish - Marinette; St Mary’s Parish - Peshtigo; and SS Joseph and Edward Parish - Walsh.  

Residents and businesses in our community can forward their donations to help us reach our goal to be prepared to serve the homeless families of our community with shelter and eviction prevention throughout the coming year.      

Please send donations written to SJC-SSVdP  - marked “F4R” in notes and send to PO Box 563, Marinette WI  54143-0563 or donate via our website at https://www.helpushelpsothers.org/donate.html  or visit our FaceBook page at  https://www.facebook.com/StJosephMarinette/

​About Us

National SSVdP USA 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 people in need.”     ​​The conference provides direct person-to-person service through home visits to families, elderly, disabled or other residents who are in need of rent, utilities, medication, transportation, fuel, or other basic needs assistance.   ​
​
St. Joseph Conference - Marinette of the Society of St Vincent de Paul, was begun 100 years ago in October 1918 during the "Spanish Flu Pandemic" and was aggregated on Oct 24, 1920 at Paris France by the International SSVdP office. We invite you to our celebration mass which will HOPEFULLY occur with Most Reverend Bishop David Ricken ONLY if we are in Phase 3 of COVID-19  at 4:00 mass with Holy Family Parish at the St Joseph Church at 1223 Carney Blvd.  Marinette WI. 

​Who We Serve

​The Conference serves families, elderly, veterans, disabled or other residents with limited incomes in our 22,000-population service area of the City of Marinette, City of Peshtigo, Town of Peshtigo, Town of Porterfield, and Town of Grover.  We serve our community without distinction of race, creed or culture.  

​Need Help? Call us on our help line at 715-735-9100 Ext 106

Through home visits we provide financial assistance, connection to community resources including mental health resources, and emotional and spiritual support.  We have an annual limit per individual/family.  If there are federal or state program dollars available, they must apply for this before receiving our assistance. We collaborate with other local agencies and resources to provide needed services for those in need. We are NOT an agency; we are simply a group of faith-filled local resident volunteers wanting to assist those in need!
