Neighbors Helping Neighbors
“Helping a neighbor isn’t limited to one type of giving or one type of person. Everyone has something to offer. And when each person offers their piece, no neighbor faces hardship alone.”
– ANDREW, volunteer
Dear Friends,
When I look back on this past year at St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati, I’m struck by the variety of ways that care took shape for our neighbors. Care offered at doorsteps and in thrift stores. Care found in pantry aisles, prescription bottles, warm coats, emergency rent checks, and quiet conversations around kitchen tables. Care that came from every corner of our community and from every angle of generosity.
Each act of compassion this year was shaped by your unique perspective, gifts, and creativity. Some of you organized food drives in moments of crisis. Others donated items that restored dignity: a new coat, sturdy shoes, even nail polish because “everyone deserves to feel good.” Vincentians stepped into homes to listen and advocate. Local businesses shared resources in ways only they could. And neighbors who once received help returned to offer it to someone else.
That is the story of St. Vincent de Paul: Neighbors helping neighbors from every angle.
Because care isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal. It’s relational. It’s imaginative. And it has never mattered more. This year, more families turned to us than ever before. Together, we responded, not just with services, but with creativity, compassion, and a willingness to see need from new angles and ask, “What can I do from where I stand?”
Your generosity made that kind of hope possible. You helped families stay in their homes. You filled refrigerators and medicine cabinets. You gave beds to children and dignity to older adults. You stood beside people rebuilding after incarceration. You connected your workplaces, your parishes, and your circles of influence to our mission in ways that multiplied impact far beyond what any of us could do alone.
As we look ahead, the need in our community continues to grow… and so does the opportunity to meet it with imagination and grace. My hope is that this Annual Report not only shows you what we accomplished together but also inspires you to consider your own angle of care. What unique gifts, skills, connections, or creativity can you offer? Who in your life might join you in serving our neighbors? No matter your angle of approach, it matters. It adds to the whole. And it ensures that no neighbor faces hardship alone.
Thank you for the compassion you bring to our community, and for serving with us — from every angle.
With gratitude,
Brad McMonigle CEO, St. Vincent de Paul - Cincinnati
Neighbors Helping Neighbors from Every Angle
When a family is facing crisis, one need is rarely the whole story. At St. Vincent de Paul, wraparound care means seeing every angle of a neighbor’s life: the pressures, the possibilities, and the practical support that can help them move forward. Thank you for making countless stories, like the three below, possible:
For Jaylyn, support began with safety. As a young mother rebuilding life after domestic violence, she worked tirelessly to provide for her two daughters. But reduced hours, childcare hurdles, and the rising cost of living made it impossible to keep up. SVDP stepped in with help for rent, utilities, pantry visits, transportation, clothing, and Christmas gifts for
her kids, freeing Jaylyn to focus on creating stability for her daughters and her new career in health care.
Anthony came to us carrying both the weight of his own health challenges and the responsibility of caring for his son, who shares his medical condition. Frequent procedures and unpredictable employment meant that some months, even groceries felt out of reach. Community generosity allowed SVDP to provide Anthony with food, clothing, and medication from our Charitable Pharmacy, along with an AC unit to support his health.
For Tamara, who cares for six children and relies on a cane for mobility, a paperwork error meant her disability income suddenly
disappeared. When food ran out and an eviction threat followed, Vincentians walked alongside her, helping her secure rental assistance and covering utilities, bus passes, and basic household needs until her benefits were restored.
Stories like these are possible because of a community that gives from every angle. Last year alone, more than $35 million in donated food, medicine, clothing, and household goods allowed SVDP to meet needs far beyond what revenue alone could provide.
Together, we care for the whole person, offering hope one neighbor at a time.

Instances of Service
THANK YOU Each of these impact numbers represents far more than a statistic. Behind each figure is a face, a name, and a story of resilience. Your generosity makes it possible for St. Vincent de Paul to serve neighbors from every angle, compassionately providing them with food, medicine, clothing, rent support, and encouragement when life feels overwhelming. Thank you for walking alongside your neighbors when they needed it most.
One Visit, Two Perspectives
Every act of compassion has two sides: the courage to ask and the heart to show up. This home visit reveals both.
MADALENA
“I was stirring chicken soup when I heard the car pull in. My husband had been gone for months caring for his sick mother, and everything felt heavier without him. I was grateful they were coming, but afraid, too…afraid they might say there was nothing they could do.
I opened the door and saw two people with warm smiles. They introduced themselves as Mary and James and I asked them to come in. I felt embarrassed about the state of things, but I wanted them to feel welcome, so I offered them the soup I had just made. It was all I had to give.
Saying everything out loud made my chest tighten. My husband going back home to care for his
mother. The missing payment. The new manager. The eviction notice hanging over me. My hours at the hotel being cut. It all felt like too much. And I kept thinking, If they can’t help me, I don’t know what happens next.
They didn’t rush. They didn’t judge. They listened and offered support. And when they said they could help with the rent payment, something in me let go. I didn’t realize how tightly I’d been holding everything in.
I hadn’t prayed out loud in years, but something about that moment felt right. As I prayed, tears came. James and Mary didn’t interrupt— they just sat with me until I could breathe again.
As he was leaving, James offered me a rosary, and I recognized the style immediately—my grandmother used to make ones just like it. I felt her with me in that moment.
I felt hope again. For the first time in weeks, staying in my home seemed possible.
After they left, the apartment felt different—warmer, lighter. I knew the challenges weren’t over, but I wasn’t facing them alone anymore.”
JAMES
“The November cold hit as Mary and I walked toward the apartment building. Before every visit, we take a moment to steady ourselves and to remember that we’re stepping into someone’s life at a vulnerable time. We said a quick prayer, asking simply to be helpful, and headed toward the door.
Madalena met us on the front step. She looked nervous, but she greeted us with warmth. She invited us in and offered us soup, mentioning that she hadn’t shared a meal with someone in a long time.
As we sat at her kitchen table, she began sharing what she’d been carrying: the loneliness of her husband’s absence, the confusion surrounding the rent payments, the fear of the eviction notice, and the stress of her hours being cut at work. The more she talked, the more we could see how long she had been holding all of this alone.
When Mary and I told her we could help with the rent payment, she closed her eyes for a moment, and the relief on her face said everything.
She apologized for needing help, and we gently reminded her that crisis can touch anyone. None of us are immune to life unraveling. We worked through some paperwork together and offered additional resources, grateful that she trusted us enough to let us walk through this challenging time with her.
When we asked if she wanted to pray together, she offered to lead. Her prayer was simple and honest, and it filled the room with a kind of quiet courage.
Before leaving, I offered her a rosary made by my family. Her face lit up with recognition, and in that moment, it felt like we were sharing something deeper than assistance —something like connection, or memory, or hope.
As Mary and I headed back to the car, neither of us spoke right away. Home visits can stay with you, and this one definitely did. We came to offer support, but Madalena’s openness and courage felt like their own kind of gift.”

A Community Behind
Each item highlights a different way neighbors, volunteers, partners, and donors help fill our pantry shelves.
Toilet Paper
Moeller High School students donated more than 1,400 food boxes this year — each including toilet paper, a simple but essential item many families struggle to afford.
Fresh Corn
Local farmers like Burwinkle Farms donate fresh corn so neighbors can enjoy the same high-quality produce found at farmers’ markets.
Lettuce & Apples
Through our partnership network, Sam’s Club supplies fresh produce, bottled water, and essentials picked up weekly by volunteer drivers.
How will you help fill the next cart?
Pet Food
SPCA donates pet food that is picked up weekly by volunteer Patrick Porter, helping families care for their pets without sacrificing their own needs.
Bread Volunteer Bill Schlater picks up fresh bread from Pepperidge Farm weekly, providing sandwiches for lunch, toast for breakfast, and a sense of comfort at mealtime.
Cereal
Quarterly volunteer Tori Beiting always brings name-brand cereal, such as Lucky Charms, adding joy and familiarity to family breakfasts.
A food drive, a special item, a corporate connection, a monthly gift, a volunteer shift —whatever you imagine, your generosity can make all the difference. ?
Baby Food Matthew 25: Ministries rescues shelf-stable items like baby food, raisins, and crackers, redirecting surplus into nourishment for families.
Birthday Cakes
Birthday bags from groups like Mount St. Joseph University include cake mix, candles, and frosting, allowing families to celebrate special moments with pride.
Every Cart
Canned Protein
Canned proteins like beef stew, chili, tuna, and chicken are sourced through our partnership with Freestore Foodbank. Shared purchasing and donor support help us purchase these highdemand staples.
Soups and Deli Items
La Soupe transforms rescued ingredients into ready-to-eat soups and deli items, offering quick, nourishing meals for busy nights.
Bananas
Kroger donates fresh items like bananas, yogurt, and deli foods from multiple store locations, expanding healthy options while reducing food waste.
Chicken
A 17,600-pound donation from Miller Poultry and Kroger provides high-quality protein, one of the hardest items for families to afford.
Milk
Last Mile Food Rescue delivers milk and fresh items through rapid pickups, keeping good food out of landfills and on pantry shelves.
The Secret Ingredient
Desserts
Servatii donates pastries and cakes twice a week, picked up by volunteer Jim Frey. These treats offer neighbors a sweet reminder that joy belongs at every table.
Personal Care and Period Products
Because SNAP doesn’t cover personal care items, Mount Notre Dame High School students ran a period-product drive. It was so successful that our van made two pick up trips!
Food drives connect the whole community to our pantry, bringing the variety and name-brand favorites neighbors love, adding choice, dignity, and joy to every pantry visit.

Care Beyond the Counter
CELEBRATING OUR ONE MILLIONTH PRESCRIPTION
At St. Vincent de Paul’s Charitable Pharmacy, access to medication is about more than prescriptions. It is about removing barriers to keep neighbors healthy and stable. Through clinical care, creative problem-solving, and strong partnerships, the pharmacy ensures life-saving medications are within reach. This year, the team filled its one millionth prescription, a milestone made possible by the many people behind each bottle. Here are a few examples of that care:
At the drop-off window, donors like Denise Voynovich bring in unused medications they no longer
$4.4M in healthcare costs prevented 16% increase in number of patients served 92% of prescriptions filled with donated medication
need. What is no longer useful in one household becomes critical support for another. Denise said, “I switched to a pharmacy that mailed my medications, and for a few months, they sent me more than I could use. I called everywhere trying to find out where I could donate the extra. When I finally found St. Vincent de Paul, I was thrilled. People with COPD, like me, rely on inhalers, and if I can make it easier for even one person to breathe, it is worth it.”
In the patient welcome rooms, pharmacists like Hannah Fry meet neighbors with expertise and compassion, helping them understand medications and coordinate care. Hannah said, “I love the variety of work we do here. We have the traditional dispensary, but we also have a strong clinical
side where we meet with patients, talk through their medications, and work with their doctors to make sure their regimen is truly the best one for them.”
Elsewhere in the pharmacy, volunteers like Dave Bedel hand-sort donated medications so prescriptions can be safely prepared for patients. Dave said, “From going on home visits, we know many people cannot afford their prescriptions. If they have to choose
between rent, utilities, groceries, and medication, the medicine often gets pushed last. It should not be that way. Volunteering in the pharmacy is a great way to make someone’s life better.”
In our Medication Access Program facility, large donations from nursing homes and pharmaceutical partners move through the high-capacity sorting machine, provided through a partnership with Charitable Health Network and the Cardinal Health Foundation. Rusty Curington, VP of Pharmacy, said, “Once fully operational, this facility will strengthen our local capacity while serving as Ohio’s statewide drug repository for donated medications. It will provide free clinics and charitable pharmacies across Ohio with unprecedented access to the medications their patients need.”
For neighbors like Charles, this care means reliable access to the medications that support daily life and long-term health. Charles said, “I come here for several medications, including Trulicity for diabetes. Coming to the Charitable Pharmacy has improved my longevity. I have been healthier for longer than I ever expected. My labs prove it. This place is essential. Here, I know someone cares about me, and I am grateful to everyone who plays a part in this.”
Hope on Every Hanger
CELEBRATING
THRIFT STORE IMPACT AND EXPANSION
Across St. Vincent de Paul’s nine thrift stores, everyday donations become tools for stability. Clothing, furniture, and household goods move from one home to another, creating affordable access for shoppers and vital support for neighbors in need. With the opening of the new Hamilton store and the expansion of the Milford location, that impact now reaches even more families.
Here is a look at how generosity moves through our thrift stores, shaped by the people who receive it, prepare it, and pass it along:
At the donation drop-off, donors like Paul Niehaus arrive with items ready for a second life. Their generosity keeps shelves stocked and allows neighbors to shop affordably or redeem vouchers with dignity. Paul said, “My wife and I have lived in Milford for 35 years, so I have been donating here for a long time. There is a sustainability aspect to donating. If I think someone will use an item that I no longer need, I donate it. I hope they can find good use for it.”
Behind the scenes, staff members like Jeff Curless sort, tag,
and test donated items so they are organized, functional, and ready for another household. Jeff said, “I inspect donated electronics, cameras, and instruments to see if they work, and then I price them. Since I was a kid, I’ve liked playing with electronics, so this is really my thing. I love the people here. It’s not just the affordable stuff that draws shoppers in; it’s the staff.”
Across the community, Vincentians like Julie Dill help connect neighbors to thrift stores through vouchers that provide access to basic household needs. Julie said, “Providing thrift store vouchers to our neighbors helps them purchase household items, clothing for their children and themselves, and furniture for their homes. There is dignity in being able to choose these items for themselves and their families.”
In the aisles, shoppers like Lexi Walton make purchases that do more than just stretch their dollar. Each sale supports food assistance, rent support, access to medication, and other essential services. Lexi said, “I’ve been thrifting with my grandma and aunt since I can remember, and I’ve been coming to SVDP for at least six years. I feel like when I shop here, I’m putting money into the right hands because
the proceeds go to the programs you run. I’m not contributing to overproduction, and I’m helping people!”
For neighbors like Carl, access to the thrift stores means having what they need to move forward with confidence. Carl said, “St. Vincent de Paul makes sure I have the clothing I need for each season, whether it is staying warm in winter or cool in summer. The clothes are nice and the staff is very helpful.” THRIFT STORES

A Year of Care, from Every Angle
From coat distributions to summer cooling, from food drives to new store openings, 2025 was filled with moments when neighbors showed up for one another. Every donation, every partnership, and every act of generosity helped create safety, comfort, and opportunity for our neighbors in need.
Coat Drive
The Winter Coat Drive brought warmth to families across our community. With support from Akers Packaging Service Group, Cincinnati Boot Country | Work Country, Gold Star Chili, Lemasters Consulting, Protective, Rhinegeist Brewery, Warm98, WLWT, and many others, 3,599 neighbors received the winter gear they needed to stay warm.
Hamilton Opening
In August, we celebrated the grand opening of our new Hamilton Thrift Store. At over 24,000 square feet, it is now the third-largest of SVDP Cincinnati’s nine locations. Beyond providing an expanded shopping and donation experience, the store created over 60 new jobs, offering immediate economic impact for the community.
One Millionth Prescription
In October, SVDP’s Charitable Pharmacy reached an extraordinary milestone: filling its one millionth prescription. Since 2006, the pharmacy has provided more than $151 million in life-saving medication to neighbors who might otherwise go without. Our pharmacists continue to deliver compassionate, outcomesbased care, ensuring that essential medication and the support that comes with it remain accessible to all.
Share What You Can
Cincinnati once again showed remarkable generosity during Share What You Can. With help from WGRR, FOX19, workplace food drives, and caring individuals, our community raised 6,996 pounds of food and over $46,600, all helping to stock our pantries and support families facing food insecurity.
XU Food Drive
Musketeer fans delivered a powerful assist during the Xavier University food drive. With help from Kroger and Novus Foods, their generosity totaled 2,163 pounds of food and more than $5,845. As pantry demand spiked across our region in October, these contributions helped ensure families could still put food on the table. In all, the drive provided 3,358 meals for neighbors in need.
AC Drive
When summer temperatures soared, our community stepped in to protect vulnerable neighbors. Partnering with Braun Heating and Air Conditioning, Mechanical Optimizers, and Protective, SVDP distributed 984 AC units and raised over $113,000. These units provided life-saving relief and helped families stay safe through the hottest days of the year.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat brought smiles and plenty of candy to the Neyer Outreach Center as 177 children joined us for an afternoon of costumes, games, and Halloween fun. Volunteers helped create a safe, festive space for families to celebrate the season. It was a treat in every sense of the word.
Strike Out Hunger
Strike Out Hunger was a home run. As the Reds took on the Rockies, fans and partners including the Cincinnati Reds, Kroger, WLWT, 700WLW, and iHeart Media came together to donate 9,479 pounds of food and $50,000. Together, these gifts provided 21,523 meals to help feed our community.
Hope to Dream
Hundreds of local children are sleeping better this year thanks to Hope to Dream. During our distribution event, 50 children received brand-new beds from Morris Furniture Company. The accompanying telethon with WCPO raised $62,527, allowing us to purchase and distribute 357 additional beds. These gifts provided comfort, stability, and a safe place to rest.
Thanksgiving Distribution
Over 150 volunteers, including community leaders like Judge Virginia Tallent, welcomed families as we distributed 1,175 meal kits for Thanksgiving. The Neyer Outreach Center was filled with genuine thanks and connection as neighbors prepared for the holiday together.
Christmas Together
Thanks to FOX19, OrthoCincy, hundreds of generous neighbors, and toy drive sites across the community, 3,002 children received gifts through our Christmas Together program. Parents selected toys their children would love, making the holiday brighter in a personal and meaningful way.
2025
Starting Somewhere: Growing Small Gifts into Big Impact
Every act of generosity has a beginning. Sometimes it is simple or small. Yet when we decide to start somewhere, that beginning often grows into a ripple of care that stretches far beyond the original moment.
FOR COREY, GIVING BACK IS PERSONAL.
Corey Lamb knows what it feels like to worry about where your next meal will come from. As a child, his family relied on church food pantries to make ends meet. As a young father, he and his wife, who has a brain disease that prevents her from working, struggled with food insecurity.
Today, Corey runs a successful business, Precision Comfort Heating and Cooling. But he has never forgotten the help he received. When he heard about record numbers of neighbors anxious about delayed SNAP
benefits, he placed nearly 40 food collection boxes at West Side businesses throughout his Delhi community, rallying local owners to join him in filling the shelves at the Catino Choice Food Pantry.
FOR THE LEMASTERS FAMILY, GENEROSITY IS A TRADITION THAT KEEPS GROWING.
In 2009, Poul Lemasters took his two young children shopping to purchase four coats to donate to St. Vincent de Paul’s winter coat drive. The next year, the kids asked if they would donate coats again. They did, and soon it became a beloved family tradition.
Each year, they donated more and more coats. Eventually, the family invited clients of their business, Lemasters Consulting, to join them, and the circle of giving expanded even further. Over the years, they have shared more than 16,870 brand new coats with SVDP, local schools, and other organizations, totaling more than $1.1 million in retail value.
FOR ALAN, GENEROSITY COMES THROUGH CRAFTSMANSHIP.
As a teenager working in a furniture store, Alan Krodel learned how to restore well-built pieces that simply needed new life. He carried that passion into adulthood and now, in retirement, uses his skills to support families who need safe, functional furniture but cannot afford it.
“You never know what people are going through and the impact you can have, even doing something small. You gave me hope.”
– AMANDA , neighbor served
Alan is a Vincentian with the San Oscar Romero Conference. After home visits reveal a need, Alan searches for quality used furniture and refurbishes it. The results are often life-changing. He once restored a trundle bed for young children who had been sleeping in a trailer without proper beds. They were overjoyed to finally sleep comfortably. Another time, he rebuilt a large dining table for a woman in a 7-person household. She was moved to tears, saying, “I am going to cook something right now, because finally we can eat a meal together.”
Corey, the Lemasters family, and Alan each show that meaningful change often begins with the simple decision to show up for someone else. Your next “small start” can make a big difference, too.

is no judgement here, just opportunity.”
A LOOK AT HOW SVDP’S EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM OFFERS SUPPORT FROM EVERY ANGLE
When Samiesha made the difficult decision to leave an unsafe relationship, she was determined to create a safer, more stable future for her young daughter. But starting over came with enormous challenges. Without a place to stay, she lived in her car and spent her days at the library so she could access Wi-Fi for work. She juggled childcare, safety concerns, and the constant pressure to keep her job.
Eventually, she secured temporary shelter and then an apartment. Rebuilding her life required more than housing. It required support, encouragement, and a path toward long-term stability.
She connected with SVDP’s Catino Women’s Stability, Employment, and Empowerment Program, a self-sufficiency initiative that offers individualized coaching and support.
With guidance from program coordinator Danielle Gentry, Samiesha created a budget, saved for a reliable car, accessed transportation assistance, and managed a full-time work schedule with extra shifts. When she expressed interest in pursuing real estate to build a stronger future for her family, SVDP helped her purchase a study tool so she could prepare for the exam.
Samiesha passed the exam and soon after signed on with her first real estate company. With the right support, she turned a moment of crisis into a lasting foundation for her family.
“Working with SVDP gave me purpose. Danielle and Jackie believed in me more than I believed in myself. They said, ‘If this is what you want to do, then this is what you can do.’ I did not feel like I was just part of a program to them. They are my friends. There is no judgement here, just opportunity.”
– SAMIESHA, neighbor served
MEET RAY AND LAMONT
Ray and Lamont came to St. Vincent de Paul on separate paths, each focused on rebuilding life after incarceration. Both brought skills and a strong desire to move forward, but both faced barriers that made starting over difficult. At St. Vincent de Paul, Jackie Cales walked alongside them as they worked through those challenges. She helped Ray focus on regaining his driver’s license, addressing fees, and growing his maintenance business. She helped Lamont access rent and food assistance so he could focus on the electrical trade he knew well. With coaching, transportation support, and steady encouragement, their confidence grew. Ray now runs his own thriving business, combining property maintenance and electrical services. Their journey was recently featured by WCPO. Scan the QR code to watch.
Fashion, Fairways, and Fun
Throughout the year, our signature fundraising events brought people together in imaginative and meaningful ways. Whether through celebration, art, golf, or fashion, supporters transformed their gifts into critical resources for families seeking stability.
CELEBRATION OF SERVICE
Presented by Protective, Celebration of Service welcomed nearly 400 guests to the Cintas Center at Xavier University and raised more than $603,000 to support local families. We honored Sheldon and Norma Braun, Bob and Carol Gramann, and Fred and Nancy Habegger for their extraordinary leadership and lasting impact on our community.

WCPO 9 News received the Pillar of Hope Award for their partnership, storytelling, and the production of our first-ever Charitable Pharmacy commercial.
PRESCRIPTION FORE FUN GOLF OUTING
Held at Western Hills Country Club, Prescription Fore Fun raised $114,000, enough to provide $1.25 million in essential medications through our Charitable Pharmacy. Presenting sponsors Protective and PhRMA helped make the
day a true hole-in-one for our neighbors in need.
Next Prescription Fore Fun: July 27, 2026
RETROFITTINGS
Presented by Protective and St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores, this year’s special anniversary RetroFittings at Music Hall celebrated “20 Years of Bold and Transformative Fashion.” More than
600 guests enjoyed a boutique of curated thrift store treasures, redcarpet moments, and a dazzling runway show featuring UC DAAP student designs made from SVDP-thrifted items. The event raised over $310,000, fueling food, clothing, rent assistance, furniture, and life-saving medications for neighbors in need.
Next RetroFittings: October 29, 2026

TGIFTS RECEIVED FROM OCTOBER 1, 2024 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
hanks to the extraordinary generosity of our supporters to the Cincinnati District Council and St. Vincent de Paul Conferences over the past fiscal year (Oct. 1, 2024 – Sept. 30, 2025), care reached families from many directions and through many forms of generosity. Children slept safely in warm beds, arrived at school nourished and ready to learn, and families were able to remain in their homes with rent and utilities covered. Because of you, elderly neighbors did not have to choose between life-saving medications and putting food on the table. Because of you, thousands of families found stability, dignity, and renewed hope for the future.
We are profoundly grateful for every gift that made this impact possible, including those recognized here (gifts of $1,000+) and the many financial contributions, in-kind gifts, and volunteer hours not reflected in these pages.
