For the past 14 years, the Reading St. Vincent de Paul Conference has supported Christ the King parishioners and Reading residents. We offer financial aid, guidance, connections to essential programs and services, and compassionate companionship during times of hardship and beyond.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that every act of service is an encounter with Christ. We recognize that poverty, hardship, and loneliness touch many lives in our community, and we work hand in hand with others to ease those burdens and address their causes.

One way we live out this mission is through our Summer Family Food Program. With the help of the Reading Knights of Columbus, we deliver groceries each week during the summer to families with school-age children who are struggling to meet their food needs. It’s more than a delivery—it’s a gesture of care and hope.

If you feel called to help, we welcome you with open arms. Whether you can lend a hand with food deliveries, offer your time to support families, or simply share your compassion, your involvement can change lives. Together, we can bring hope and kindness to those who need it most. Check out the video on this page for an idea of what goes on at our bi-weekly meetings.

Complete the Volunteer Application, and one of our Vincentians will contact you to answer your questions about this ministry and provide you with more information about our experiences helping our communities.

If volunteering isn’t possible, you can still make a meaningful impact. Your financial gift helps us provide food, assistance, and hope to families in need. Every contribution—large or small—makes a difference. To donate, please visit our Venmo account or contact us at (781) 258-8767 or [email protected].
