We seek to speak especially for those who have no voice. It is up to the members of the Society to bring stories that we know of the poor to life. Councils help to create awareness and interest among Vincentians and encourage members to speak in one unified voice as an extension of our service to the individuals and families that the Society serves. We have stories to tell, statistics of the numbers of people in need that we assist, and service that we can measure and describe to key decision makers.
