Friends of Neighbors in Need
​(FONIN)

Formerly St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul Society, this organization's mission is to serve the needs of the Oxford Community.  All this is done with the generous support of our parish.  Volunteers also represent Friends of Neighbors in Need (FONIN) in meeting with clients at the Oxford Family Resource Center.  Here are a few examples of what FONIN does: 
  • Provides monetary assistance for rent, utilities, gas and emergency hotel stays
  • Provides diapers and dry pantry items, which are distributed at the Community Dinner
  • Provides monetary assistance for diapers at the Oxford Women's Care Center
  • Provides a pack of food to school children who come from high poverty families through the "BackPack" program
  • Provides Christmas gifts to families and nursing home residents through the "Giving Tree" program
