About St. Vincent de Paul Indianapolis

St. Vincent de Paul - Indianapolis serves the most vulnerable in the community, providing food, clothing, diapers, beds, and more on a daily basis. It works through 58 conferences and 1,388 Vincentians across central and southern Indiana.

As a Catholic lay charity, it delivers much of its help person-to-person, through local conferences tied to parishes.

Resale stores and the distribution center

The council's Mission 27 resale stores, at 132 Leota Street and 1618 South Shelby Street, sell donated clothing and other items to support the purchase of new beds, the food pantry, and other programs. Its distribution center at 1201 East Maryland Street supplies parish conferences with new beds and with used clothing, furniture, appliances, housewares, bedding, and linens to give to neighbors in need.
