For the past twelve years, volunteers with Saint Vincent de Paul have been quietly helping those in need in the community. The local conference of Saint Vincent de Paul has been working to help those in Dawson County since 2006, when then-president Jim Bohl and current president Sue Seldomridge decided they wanted to help the community they loved so much. “Our whole mission is…we help people who are in need regardless of their race, creed, color, ideals, whatever,” said Seldomridge. Through Saint Vincent de Paul Georgia, the local conference based out of Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church helps members of the community financially. Just last year the local organization spent $77,000 helping approximately 800-900 people in the community, and the year before spent $97,000.
