Founded by a group of Atlanta parishioners in 1903, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Georgia has grown into a statewide charity. It now operates through 76 local service hubs staffed by more than 3,200 Vincentians and many more volunteers, serving over 300,000 Georgians each year.
Its help reaches people regardless of faith, with a focus on food, housing, clothing, healthcare, and pathways to long-term stability.
SVdP Georgia operates nine thrift stores across the state, along with an eBay shop called Vinny's Thrift and Collectibles. Proceeds from every store go directly to the council's programs and services.

The council provides financial assistance to people who cannot meet basic needs such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and medicine. A standout program is the SVdP Georgia Community Pharmacy, which serves the entire state, helping Georgia residents who cannot pay for their medications and who qualify for the service.
Together with the local service hubs, this gives the council both broad reach and direct, personal aid.
