Programs and Services

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Cincinnati is a non-profit organization providing a unique style of personal assistance with food, clothing, medicine, rent, utilities, transportation and companionship to people facing economic, emotional or spiritual crises.

Members, volunteers and staff in communities throughout Hamilton County assisted neighbors in need 85,000 times in 2009. As a private, non-profit charity, the Society relies almost exclusively on private individuals, businesses and organizations locally for support.

Everything St. Vincent de Paul does is motivated by a sense of compassion for those struggling with poverty, loneliness, illness, family problems and many other difficulties. Our Catholic faith inspires us to action, sustains our commitment, and challenges us to become more like Christ. For Vincentians, every encounter with our fellow man is an opportunity to share a spark of the divine fire.
