On May 12, St. Vincent de Paul marked the official groundbreaking of its downtown campus expansion and development with several local partners and donors.
The new 40,000 square foot building will include a new family resource center and shelter for people who are over 50 years old or with disabilities. The project will also include the expansion of St. Vincent de Paul’s medical and dental clinic, doubling their dental operatory spaces from eight to 16 and substantially increasing their medical service capacity.
The new building will be located across the street from their main campus at 420 W. Watkins Rd.
With support from the community and generous donors, St. Vincent de Paul is expanding along with its mission in Arizona. The groundbreaking opens an exciting new chapter, which will include a full-service, renewed campus that not only offers the life-giving services to feed, clothe, house and heal, but also provide tools, solutions, and support to help individuals and families lift themselves out of poverty.
