These person-to-person visits from caseworkers located throughout the state in our 72 Conferences are what make us unique and distinguishes us from other social service agencies. Each year, approximately 120,000 Georgians from every religion, race, and background call SVdP on a dedicated assistance helpline. Calls are routed to one of our 72 local groups called conferences. These conferences are staffed by over 3,000 volunteers who work together to provide hope and help to people in need in their community. Conference helpline workers return these calls to obtain some initial information and set a convenient appointment time for a Home Visit. People who need help often are not able to take time off from work, arrange for child care, or find transportation to seek resources. With a box of food in hand and compassion in their hearts, two of our trained volunteer caseworkers, known as Vincentians, go to them ready to provide assistance and resources to help them through a challenging time.”
