A welcome from our agency

We meet the need in front of us — then walk the longer road beside you.

St. Paul Community Agency exists to serve individuals and families across Ascension Parish and the surrounding communities. Our first responsibility is immediate: putting food on the table, diapers in the cabinet, and relief in a household facing an unexpected crisis.

Our second is lasting. Alongside material support, we stay with a neighbor past the first box — checking back in, helping with applications, and connecting families to trusted partners for the needs we do not meet ourselves, so that today's emergency does not become a permanent condition.

Get involved

A parish is held together by people who show up.

Volunteer on a distribution day, host a supply drive, or refer a neighbor who needs help. Every hour becomes groceries, diapers, and a knock on the door of someone who cannot come to us.
