MAY 9 FEAST DAY OF ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC “Above all be very gentle and courteous toward the people you serve; love them tenderly and respect them deeply.” Those are the words of St. Louise de Marillac, a close friend of St. Vincent de Paul and Foundress of the Daughters of Charity. She was canonized on this day by Pope Pius XI and is recognized as the patron saint of social workers.

MAY-JULY FAN & A/C DRIVE, PRESENTED BY BRAUN HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING The summer heat can bring on many challenges for neighbors, especially the elderly, families with young children, and people with certain medical conditions. St. Vincent de Paul aims to provide relief for those in need by supplying free fans and air conditioning units. Help us keep the community cool this summer! $18 provides a box fan, and $120 provides an A/C unit at SVDPcincinnati.org/HeatRelief.
JULY 22-23 STRIKE OUT HUNGER Play ball! St. Vincent de Paul is partnering with the Cincinnati Reds again this summer to help feed local families. We’ll be collecting non-perishable food items at Great American Ball Park before the games on July 22 and July 23 as the Reds host the Cardinals. Your donations help ensure our food pantry is stocked as many neighbors, especially children, experience food insecurity throughout the summer.
AUGUST 1 PRESCRIPTION FORE FUN GOLF OUTING, PRESENTED BY PROTECTIVE LIFE Save the date for the annual Prescription Fore Fun Golf Outing, followed by our Wine & Bourbon Tasting, both benefiting the St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy! These fun and impactful events support the innovative programming at our Charitable Pharmacy, which provides $13 worth of prescription medication for every $1 donated.
AUGUST DAY TO DREAM Each summer, we partner with Morris Home Furniture and WCPO Channel 9 to help address the need for beds in Greater Cincinnati and ensure local children have a safe, comfortable place to sleep each night. We’ll host a celebration as 50 kids receive a new bed of their own, followed by a fundraising effort for our Bed Program.
