Donations Drive
Fan Drive

Throughout the year, St. Vincent de Paul conducts a number of special drives to collect and distribute basic necessities like food, clothing and other items to help those in need. In partnership with media and corporate sponsors, these programs are made possible by the donations from thousands of area residents. The year-round car donation program offers the benefit of a tax deduction while helping a neighbor in need. Seasonal collection drives include the summer Fan Drive, sponsored by WCPO Channel 9 , Coney Island and Papa John's; the 5 Cares Coat Drive, sponsored by Cintas, WLWT Channel 5, City Dash and local Fire Departmentsl; and the holiday Food From the Heart Drive, sponsored by Kroger and Fox 19, and the adopt-a-family program.
