The Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Cincinnati has supported neighbors across Greater Cincinnati for more than 150 years. Founded in 1869, it provides person-to-person emergency assistance and runs thrift stores, including its Este Avenue Super Store, whose sales fund the council's help for people in need.
The Cincinnati council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was established in 1869, when a small group met to begin the work locally. For more than 150 years it has supported and transformed the lives of neighbors throughout Greater Cincinnati.
It is a network of volunteers who, inspired by Gospel values, serve people in need through personal relationships, regardless of creed.
SVdP Cincinnati runs thrift stores, including the Este Avenue Super Store at 4530 Este Avenue, with a wide selection of furniture, household items, and clothing. Sales fund the council's emergency assistance, and donated goods help stock the stores.

The council specializes in person-to-person help, providing spiritual, emotional, and material assistance to people who are poor, lonely, or forgotten. It offers practical emergency assistance designed to bridge the gaps in people's lives with dignity.
Because the help is delivered face-to-face by local volunteers, it can be tailored to each household's situation.
St. Vincent de Paul is a 501(c)(3), so goods and cash are tax-deductible when you itemize. Get a receipt at drop-off, and estimate fair market value with our donation value guide.
