St. Vincent de Paul of Northern Kentucky, a Catholic service organization that provides emergency assistance, has received $20,000 in grant funds to continue its work of providing emergency rent and utility bill assistance into the coming winter months.
The organization received the grant from the STG Foundation, a nonprofit that funds various charities. This is the second year St. Vincent de Paul has received grant funding from the Foundation.
“We are honored to support St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky,” said Scott Farmer, president of STG Foundation. “In a time when many individuals and families are struggling with rent and utility expenses, we are happy to partner and help provide aid for these much needed services.”
Since Oct. 1, 2023, St. Vincent de Paul has helped 9,700 people avoid homelessness and utility shut offs, according to a press release from the organization. That’s equivalent to just over $1 million in aid.
St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky’s Assistance Office is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you or someone you know needs help, call their help line at (859)341-3219. You can also learn more at St. Vincent de Paul’s website.
