St. Vincent DePaul Mission of Bristol — Attraction in Bristol

They were very nice and helped my husband and I get into a new place after we lost our home in September. BUT their lack of response time and leaving me waiting for OVER a week to return my phone calls caused a big delay in us getting into a few places. I even went to their office twice in tears begging to speak to the worker. There is a big problem when the system put in place to help is broken and not working. I am sure I am not the only one this has happened too. If the worker would have responded to me the day I showed crying we would have gotten a much nicer place, and much bigger place. But after the landlord waited over a week to hear from her he moved onto the next person that took the place right away. We were so desperate we took a place in a bad neighborhood, and much smaller than we actually needed or wanted. But we had no choice at that point because we ended up spending every penny we had and ALL our savings just to stay in a motel. We are both sick and couldn't live on the streets.

I have been clearing out my basement & I have so much to donate. Things that I would usually donate to Salvation Army or Goodwill, I choose to give to this homeless shelter. I feel this helps more people who are down on their luck, especially now with this pandemic turning peoples lives upside down. I would encourage people to do the same. I get a uncluttered basement & get to do good. Donations received are not just for them, they share with their other locations. I like that. People need a helping hand now...
