The Giving Tree will be set up inside the Church on November 29th. There will be ornaments on the Tree requesting gifts for the children. Each ornament will indicate the age and gender of the child. It may include clothing sizes and possible toys. The requested items are only suggestions. It is not necessary to buy everything that is listed on the ornament. Please take an ornament and return the gift for the child with the ornament attached to the outside of the wrapped gift. If possible, include a gift receipt inside the package.
The Giving Tree will also have ornaments requesting Bone-In Hams. The hams will be included in food baskets delivered to families for Christmas. The gifts and hams must be returned by December 14th. SVdP thanks all the parishioners for your continued generosity in helping us to assist the less fortunate in our community.
Parishioners, you may wish to "adopt" a family this year. If you "adopt" a family, you will provide gifts for all of the children in the family. You determine the number of children you would like to "adopt". If you wish to "adopt" a family, please call Anna Johnson at 707-373-9803 by November 26th. Please leave your name, phone number, and the size of family you would like to "adopt". You will be contacted with the information and ornaments.
Help us fill our collection bins any weekend! We can always use non-perishable items for our emergency food boxes (non-expired please). We can always use items like tuna, spaghetti sauce and noodles, and canned vegetables and soups. Here are some items we often cannot purchase from the Food Bank that would greatly supplement our emergency food boxes - jelly, mayonnaise, mustard and salad dressing. Would you kindly consider picking up an item or two to put in our collection bins in the Msgr. Byrne Room? We pray that all our benefactors and those we help, will be blessed beyond measure.The 2025 annual "Friends of the Poor" Walk
Thank you to our clergy, parishioners and St. Basil School students & Teachers for participating in the 2025 Friends of the Poor Walk. We "walked one mile in their shoes" within the school yard on Friday, October 10th. We raised $2206.28 to fund our programs that bring compassionate care to those in need throughout Vallejo.
Thank you St. Basil School & Preschool families and Knights of Columbus #13271 for your Easter baskets, canned goods and ham donations. We were blessed to bring the joy of Christ's resurrection to 54 families. Thanks also to Fr. Dante for blessing our food, the volunteer drivers and our SVdP members.
Thanks to all who purchased a Benefit for the Poor Raffle Ticket.

Emergency Food Assistance
We can provide assistance with emergency food if you live in Vallejo or near the border in American Canyon. We have limited volunteer resources, so can only assist each family once every three months.
Please call 707-644-0376 to leave a message. It is our only way to contact you, so speak slowly and clearly. A volunteer will call you to make an appointment for food delivery. **We recommend you add our phone number to your contact list so you know it is us returning your call.
Due to budget constraints, we can only provide limited assistance for rent assistance or other needs.

The St. Basil Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul ("SVdP") sees as its mission to serve anyone in need through a direct person-to-person food delivery program, helping clients to become self-sufficient, and consistently treating all our clients with dignity and respect. Our primary goal is acting out our faith by providing loving and compassionate interest in individuals in need. It is in loving others where the contact with Christ emerges.
Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7:00 PM in the Fr. Garrigan Room. All are welcome! Call 707-644-0376 to leave a message or email us at [email protected].
SVdP plans and provides special dinner baskets for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Christmas also includes a "Giving Tree" which allows the entire parish to participate in supplying needed gifts for the children of the families we serve. An Annual "Walk for the Poor" fundraiser supports our work to continue delivering emergency food to the needy of our community.
Every 4th Saturday between 8:30am - 10:30am, our St. Basil Conference provides laundry assistance to the homeless and needy at Launderland Wash & Dry located at 627 Tennessee St. in Vallejo. Service is limited to one load of wash and two small loads to dry per person. Participants are responsible to load their clothing to the washers and dryers. We provide the detergent, fabic softener and funds to start the machines. There is usually free clothing and hygiene items provided by SVdP members. Food is also available, provided by Vallejo Together or Catholic Daughters Court 2525 (CDA).

Thank You St. Basil Parishioners - Holiday Programs - Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas 2024
A heartfelt thank you to all the parishioners and school families who donated food, turkeys, and whole hams, and gifts for our St. Basil Conference Holiday programs. We delivered 51 meals with Easter baskets, 50 Thanksgiving meals and 71 Christmas meals to local needy families. Generous St. Basil School and Pre-school families and St. Basil parishioners donated food items for the food boxes. This included Christmas gifts for 162 children. Simbang Gabi Ministry members gathered 550 pounds of food for us! We could not do it without you. May God be your reward.

Setting Up Adult Students for SuccessDuring August 2023 the St. Basil's Society of St. Vincent de Paul again asked parishioners to please donate school supplies. This year we helped the students at the Vallejo Regional Education Center (formerly Vallejo Adult School). These are low-income adults who are trying to improve their current situation and be role models for their children.
Your response to SVdP for school supplies for Vallejo Regional Education Center was outstanding! VREC students, teachers and SVdP thank all who donated.Thank you!!
