We’re all about building brighter futures and stronger families.

Our Vision
To disrupt the generational cycle of poverty for the families we serve.

Our Mission
Marillac St. Vincent strengthens and amplifies the voices of marginalized communities – in the Vincentian spirit of service – through education and programs tailored to foster thriving families and sustainable communities in Chicago.

Who We Are
For over a century, Marillac St. Vincent Family Services, a sponsored work of the Daughters of Charity, has been a “beacon of hope” and support for Chicago’s communities, dedicated to breaking the generational cycle of poverty.

Guided by the Vincentian spirit of service, we work with families and communities to create lasting change through education, tailored programs, and a commitment to building sustainable futures. Our holistic approach addresses the root causes of poverty—whether through equitable education, health services, or economic empowerment—so that everyone we serve can thrive.

Our vision is clear: we believe that every child, every family, and every person we serve should not just survive but thrive. Through our commitment to integrity, creativity, advocacy, respect, excellence, and empowerment, we work to transform lives and create lasting change.

Join us in our mission to strengthen families and transform communities. Whether through volunteering, donating, or advocating for change, your support can help break the cycle of poverty for future generations. Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable Chicago.
Get involved today and help make a lasting impact.
