Thanksgiving and Christmas programs build bridges between communities and our neighbors who need help. St. Vincent de Paul’s special Christmas programs touch more than 2,000 lives every year. The holidays can be overwhelming for families struggling just to make ends meet. Our volunteers and staff help people in need receive food for a family meal, gifts for their children, and comfort in their time of need. All this is possible thanks to the kindness and support of our communities, families, parishes, businesses, schools, organizations, and countless others who step forward to help:

• Moeller High School students conduct a food drive each November.
  
• St. X students collect food and deliver Christmas baskets to West End and Winton Hills families.
  
• High School students, businesses, community groups and various other organizations adopt families for Christmas.
• Sacred Heart radio and John Morrell help with the adopt a family program.
  
• Kroger, WXIX-19 and St.Vincent de Paul work together to collect more than 75,000 pounds of food each year through the Food From the Heart Program.
  
• Members of parishes work with their local St. Vincent de Paul groups to provide holiday food and gifts to thousands of people in need.
