Last week I took a tour of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of SF center programs that are critical to helping those in need. The programs are The Wellness Center, The Riley Center; Services for Survivors of Domestic Violence, Multi-Service Center (MSC) - South and the Vincentian Help Desk. The tour was lead by Sister Katy O'Shea, Rommie Lucia and Anjali Verma Ruvalcaba. They, in addition to the staff members and volunteers I met, are by far some of the most giving and selfless people I have ever encountered.
