Learn how St. Vincent de Paul serves Bryan–College Station through quiet, personal charity. Hear how home visits, a food pantry, and a thrift store become hope in hard times.

Host Judy Comeaux talks with Bob Chronister, president of the local St. Vincent de Paul Society. Bob explains how volunteers make “home visits” to listen, pray, and offer practical help with rent and utilities—often within a week. He outlines the Society’s structure across five parishes, its roots and rules, and how funding comes through parish collections, private donors, grants, United Way, and a well-run thrift store. You’ll also hear about the private food pantry, the furniture ministry (beds for kids and donated household items), and annual Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas gift drives sourced from families identified on visits. Bob highlights the constant need for volunteers, the reality of the working poor and fixed-income seniors, and the ministry of prayer that accompanies every encounter. If you’re local, there are simple on-ramps—from answering phones to delivering checks.

What part of this mission speaks most to your heart?
