St. Vincent de Paul Tri-Parish Community Pharmacy: 872-2253

Is a nonprofit agency run with the generous assistance of volunteer pharmacists, pharmacy techs, screeners, and laypeople.
Medications are donated to the pharmacy from local Doctor’s Offices, Hospitals, and Nursing Homes and given free of charge to those in need.

Catholic Charities: 876-0490

Assistance is provided with the purchase of medications for low-income families receiving SNAP Benefits (Food Stamps) or whose only income is from Social Security and is unable to pay for their prescriptions whenever St. Vincent De Paul Tri-Parish Pharmacy is closed or does not have the medication on hand to fit the needs of the family.

Life-sustaining medications such as antibiotics, insulin, heart medications, etc. can be filled. We do not fill medications for pain, birth control, or mental health conditions. In the event that the medications needed are over the amount we have set to provide for each family in need,            discount cards are given to help offset the costs the family must pay out of their own pocket.

Items Needed To Get Assistance with Catholic Charities for Medication Assistance include:

SNAP (Food Stamp) Printout,

Proof of household income,

Paper prescriptions or refill bottles,

Proof of monthly household expenses.

Catholic Church Parishes

Many Catholic Church parishes throughout the Diocese of Houma/Thibodaux assist with medication for people who live within their parish boundaries. If in need, please call the Catholic Church that is nearest your home to apply for assistance.
