Since 1865, the St. Vincent de Paul Society has cared for the needy and disadvantaged of the Cleveland, Akron, Lorain, Lake, Geauga, Medina, Ashland and Wayne county areas. Through home visits, food , clothing and furniture programs, thrift stores and outreach programs, St. Vincent de Paul provides support to individuals in need regardless of race, origin, religion or gender.

Our base of more than 1500 volunteers is the foundation of our organization. These members work in nearly 160 Conferences, generally associated with parishes throughout the Cleveland Catholic Diocese, to care for people in their own neighborhoods. Conferences that are able to collect more than they need for their own neighbors share their time, talent and treasure with less fortunate Conferences.

In addition, our members voluntarily support the operation of our Thrift Store, Food Pantry and Clothing and Furniture Programs .

We invite you to visit our Volunteer Opportunities page to learn more about how you can share your gifts and resources to help the needy of our area. Together we can make a difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters.
