HopeBringing Home

2007 Society of St.Vincent de Paul Annual Report

1

Together, we bring hope home.

One of your neighbors needs help. He’s living in dire circumstances.

You might not even recognize his desperate need for help.

A divorce, a job loss or a serious injury may have started his family’s

spiral into poverty. But now, things have gotten so bad they’re facing

foreclosure on their home.

We don’t expect poverty to enter our neighbors’ lives, or even our

own. Yet it can happen to any of us—no matter who we are, no matter

where we live.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul gives hope to families in crisis. Through

our daily work with those in need, we understand how real and threaten-

ing emergencies feel to individuals struggling to make ends meet.

We minister to people in hardship through our devoted volunteers, home

visits made in every corner of our community and many other programs.

And with the help of our community’s loving neighbors, together we will

continue to care for people in need, bringing hope home.

The Society of St. Vincent

de Paul invites people

from every ethnic and

cultural background, age, and economic

level to join together to help people

living in poverty.

Answering Christ’s call, we foster hope

by providing spiritual, emotional and

fi nancial assistance on a person-to-

person basis to the poor, lonely and

forgotten in our community. Vincentians

(St. Vincent de Paul volunteer members)

work personally with those in need

through neighborhood-based ministries

in unity and cooperation with each other.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul has

been helping Greater Cincinnati and

Hamilton County residents in need with

the basic necessities of life for more

than 135 years.

Holding a food drive is a fun and easy team-building

activity. Food drives also provide critically needed non-

perishable food for our food pantries. Food donations

are appreciated at any time of year.

Donate Your Used Vehicle

One hundred percent of proceeds from our vehicle

donation program are used to help local people in need.

Our Miss ion

How You Can Help We are often asked what we need by those who are deeply moved by our work and wish to help.

Dear Friends:

Neighbor to neighbor. One life at

a time. Side-by-side with someone

in need. That is the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul.

In 2007, St. Vincent de Paul volunteers

gave 65,387 hours to help more than

73,000 people in need. Many of the

families we help live humbly but self-

suffi ciently at the edge of poverty

until a life event pushes them over the

edge. It may be an illness or injury,

birth of a child, or loss of a job. Fragile

family fi nances can be devastated by

increased fuel or grocery costs.

The eff ects are heartbreaking —

families who eat dinner on the kitchen

fl oor because they have no furniture,

elderly people sweltering in the heat

with no air conditioning or fans,

parents living in fear of eviction as

they struggle to keep up with bills,

people who are ill with no means

to get vital medication.

But — almost miraculously — there is

also hope in the homes we visit. Hope

in the knowledge that someone cares.

Hope that tomorrow can be better

than today. We are blessed by the

courage and grace of those we help.

As you read this report, we invite you

to share in some of their stories.

Thank you for your continued support

and prayers. We are touched by your

compassion and deeply appreciate

your generosity, which makes it

possible for us to bring Christ’s

hope to so many hurting people.

God’s Blessings,

Mark Kroeger President

Bringing

“Assistance to the unfortunate

honors when it treats the poor

with respect, not only as an

equal, but as a superior since

he is suffering what perhaps

we are incapable of suffering.”

Blessed Frédéric Ozanam

St. Vincent de Paul founder

As a senior citizen, Susan had a comfortable life. Then

one night police offi cers knocked on her door with four

half-clothed and malnourished children. The police

found the girls naked with no food or water when arrest-

ing Susan’s estranged daughter, a drug addict.

Susan took the girls into her home. Not knowing how

she was going to provide for them, she turned to the St.

Vincent de Paul Conference at Sts. Peter & Paul Church.

Susan received food for the holidays and Christmas

presents to make their fi rst Christmas together a memo-

rable one. “Without St. Vincent de Paul, we wouldn’t

have had a Christmas,” says Susan. “It was hard for me

to ask for help, I’m not used to that. But St. Vincent de

Paul was so compassionate and understanding.”

Susan now has custody of the four girls. “Things are

going pretty good now,” says Susan. “It is hard for me

to get in 40 hours at work, something always comes up

when you are taking care of four children. But I know that

St. Vincent de Paul is there if I need them in a pinch.”

Shawnda is a St. Vincent de Paul social worker who says

one of the best parts of her job is praying for her clients.

“I love my work at St. Vincent de Paul. We are unlike any

other organization because we do home visits, which is

a more personal way to assess people’s needs. The peo-

ple we visit are comfortable with us being in their home

and it eliminates any transportation barriers. When we

pray with our clients, it means a lot to them and it really

touches us, too.”

A family reaching out to others is how Shawnda describes

St. Vincent de Paul. One recent event especially touched her.

“One day, a very pregnant woman came to our offi ces,”

says Shawnda. “It was time for her to get to the hospital

to deliver her baby and she needed a bus token to get

there. After her baby was born, I visited her in the

hospital and I kept thinking about her situation. I fi nally

concluded that while it may sound unusual that she

came to us when it was time to have her baby, it really

wasn’t. She knew that we were someone she could

depend on—a family, a friend.”

Shawnda, Social Worker A Kind Word and a Prayer

“Poverty often deprives a man of

all spirit and virtue, it is hard for

an empty bag to stand upright.”

Antoinette’s life turned upside down when a car accident

claimed her mother’s life. Devastated, Antoinette and

her daughter, Tierra, used every penny of their savings

and rent money to pay for the funeral.

On top of trying to cope with the loss of their mother

and grandmother, Antoinette and Tierra faced possible

eviction. They turned to the St. Vincent de Paul Con-

ference at St. William for help. A conference member

called both landlords to explain the situation and ask

for extensions.

After many phone calls, the conference members pulled

together enough to pay for rent. “Thank you, Jesus,”

Antoinette said when she learned that she and Tierra

would not be put out on the street. “I was overwhelmed

when I heard that we were going to receive help with

our rent,” Antoinette says. “I don’t know where we’d be

without the help.” Antoinette still struggles; she says she is always aware

she is only a few months away from being in debt. “But

I know if I keep holding my head up and keep praying,

God will answer my prayers.”

Antoinett e A Shoulder to Lean On

Life was going as planned for

Lisa. She married her high school

sweetheart and was living com-

fortably. Then after losing his job,

her husband became depressed

and turned to alcohol. Nights

became dangerous for Lisa and

her infant daughter, as her hus-

band would stumble home and in

fi ts of rage violently abuse her.

Lisa took refuge at the Battered Women’s Shelter where

she received help fi nding a home. The two bedroom

apartment was a safe place for Lisa and her daughter, but

it was completely empty. Without a bed or crib for her

daughter, Lisa would spread her few pieces of clothing on

the fl oor to make a soft place for her daughter to sleep.

At St. Vincent de Paul, Lisa received a crib complete

with sheets and a mobile for her daughter as well as a

bed for herself. With renewed hope and the combined

help of several agencies, Lisa had the strength to make

a fresh start.

Terry is not afraid of hard work. A professional landscaper

for 25 years, he always made enough to support his fam-

ily paycheck to paycheck. He never had to ask for help.

Then a work-related injury put Terry fl at on his back, on

medical bed rest for 13 months. Bills began to pile up,

and the family lost many of their possessions, including

their only vehicle. Eventually, Terry was able to start

working again but getting to and from job sites was

impossible. For Terry, the bus pass St. Vincent de Paul

provided was the lifeline he needed until his fi rst check

came. “The bus pass was just what I needed to get on

my feet again.”

Now Terry volunteers, working in the garden at St.

Vincent de Paul’s West End offi ce. “I decided to volun-

teer because I wanted to say thank you for all the help I

received,” says Terry.

Terry says that things are going well for him again. “I

don’t think I’ll ever need St. Vincent de Paul’s services

again. But if I do, I know they’re there.”

When she goes to work, LaMonica, the site manager

of St. Vincent de Paul’s Winton Hills offi ce, says she is

doing work for the Lord. “I believe that God uses people

to minister to others,” says LaMonica. “And St. Vincent

de Paul uses me to open doors for other people who

need help.”

LaMonica helps clients with diverse needs. “I’m proud

to be part of an organization that has the ability to

help people, whether it is furniture, rent, utilities, or

other needs.”

Prayer is an important part of LaMonica’s work. “We

recently worked with a woman who was suff ering from

depression and helped her with a variety of services.

Later, she confi ded that of everything we had done for

her, there was one thing that meant the most — prayer.

She told me that no one had ever prayed for her before.

To me, prayer gives people the hope that it is going to be

okay, they can make it through.”

Anna and her husband Carlos were trying to make a bet-

ter life for their family. With the promise of a better job

for Carlos, they moved with their two sons, Jacob and

Sam, from Minnesota to Cincinnati.

Then the company downsized and Carlos lost his job.

Because they spoke very little English, Anna and Carlos

had a diffi cult time fi nding jobs. Unable to pay their

utility bills or purchase basic necessities like groceries

or clothing for their growing boys, they turned to the St.

Vincent de Paul Conference at St. Charles.

Conference members met the family and helped pay

their bills and gave them food and clothing. Now Carlos

has a stable job, and he and Anna are able to focus on

helping their sons adjust to a new life here in Cincinnati.

Marilee worked with special needs children in Minnesota

before moving back to Cincinnati to care for her grand-

mother. A fi nancial data coordinator at the Urban League

of Cincinnati, she also cared for her son and daughter.

Then Marilee’s chronic breathing condition worsened,

resulting in a long hospital stay. Instead of one medi-

cation, she now needed eight. Marilee overcame all

obstacles and returned to work, but she earned just a

few dollars too much to qualify for assistance. It seemed

she would have to choose between her family’s needs

and purchasing her medication.

That’s when Marilee discovered the St. Vincent de Paul

Charitable Pharmacy. “They listened to me,” Marilee

says. “They sat down and explained the doses and made

everything clear.”

Without the Charitable Pharmacy, Marilee said she

would still be hospitalized, separated from her family,

unable to say fi ve words without losing her breath.

Instead, she is still a working mother able to stand

on her own.

“As a working person, services aren’t always easy to

receive — I didn’t think I was qualifi ed to receive any

help,” says Marilee. “That’s what I love about St. Vincent

de Paul. They care about your needs. For me, St. Vincent

de Paul is a lifesaver.”

We are honored to touch the lives

of so many individuals and families

with their own unique circumstances.

To meet the diverse needs of the

people we serve, Cincinnati’s Society

of St. Vincent de Paul off ers a variety

of programs and assistance designed

to help stabilize and improve the lives

of our neighbors in need.

Home Visits Bring Help and Hope to

Those in Need

St. Vincent de Paul’s ministry extends into virtually every

neighborhood in our community. When we learn of a

family facing hard times, we visit them in their homes to

better understand their needs, off er emotional support,

and provide practical help with emergency needs. Once

the initial emergency is alleviated, we help families seek

long-term solutions leading to self-suffi ciency.

Home Visits: 6,674

Charitable Pharmacy Provides

Medication to the Needy

In Greater Cincinnati, there are 270,000 uninsured

residents, and one of every 10 households has a mem-

ber who has gone without medication to pay for other

necessities such as food, clothing or housing (2005

Community Health Status Survey).

Imagine needing heart medication or a simple antibiotic

and not being able to pay for it. The St. Vincent de Paul

Charitable Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in Southwest

Ohio dedicated to providing completely free medication

and professional pharmaceutical care to people in need.

Prescription volume continues to increase by as much

as 20 percent each month since the pharmacy opened

in September 2007. The pharmacy opened for a third

day each week in 2007.

People cared for: 585

Prescriptions dispensed: 7,720 with an estimated retail

value of $633,000

St. Vincent de Paul Feeds the Hungry

One in six Ohio children goes to bed hungry or unsure

where his or her next meal will come from (Children’s

Hunger Alliance). Feeding neighbors in need is one of

the most fundamental, direct services provided by our

network of neighborhood helpers.

St. Vincent de Paul food pantries in the West End, Price

Hill, Mt. Airy, College Hill and other communities help

ensure needy families have enough to eat. It’s a job

that’s gotten tougher every year. To meet the challenge,

St. Vincent de Paul relies on school and community food

drives, businesses and private individuals to help supply

the food to keep families from going hungry.

Total people helped with food in 2007: 45,273

Winton Hills Satellite Offi ce Opens

Some of our area’s neediest residents call Winton Hills

home. More than 3,400 people live below the pov-

erty line, and approximately half of these are children.

Moved by the needs of these impoverished families, St.

Vincent de Paul opened a Winton Hills satellite offi ce

in fall 2007 following the closure a 60-year-old agency

serving that community.

Initial eff orts have focused on the most basic needs—

food, clothing, beds and utilities. But with so many

children in the neighborhood, residents worry that there

are few opportunities to help them develop into happy,

responsible adults. St. Vincent de Paul is currently work-

ing with a coalition of local providers to expand services

to children and their parents.

13

Thrift StoresDuring home visits, we often meet families living in bar-

ren apartments — children with only shorts to wear in the

winter, an elderly woman with only a disposable pie tin

to warm water for tea, a family of fi ve sharing three din-

ner plates, families with no chairs, tables, lamps or beds.

Our six thrift stores provided low-cost and free clothing,

household items and furniture to these families. Goods

and furniture in the stores are made available free to

clients on an emergency basis using vouchers disbursed

by our staff , volunteers, and other agencies such as the

FreeStore FoodBank. Others shop for great bargains,

knowing all proceeds help the needy. Our stores are

stocked entirely with gently used items donated by

caring individuals.

RetroFittings

For the fi fth year, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul

partnered with the University of Cincinnati Fashion

Program in the College of Design, Architecture, Art &

Planning (DAAP) for one of Cincinnati’s most unique

and exciting fundraisers.

Students from the DAAP program were given $10

to purchase items at the Society’s thrift stores. The

students created cutting-edge fashions from clothing,

curtains, bed sheets and tablecloths, which were

modeled in a New York-style runway show benefi ting

St. Vincent de Paul.

Operation Bootstrap

Job Readiness Program

This volunteer-driven program helps the chronically

unemployed re-enter the job market through intensive

training in workplace skills, career counseling, job search,

and overall health and well-being. A newly installed

computer lab provides hands-on experience in this im-

portant skill. Participants receive one-on-one help with

the goal of fi nding permanent, full-time employment.

Throughout the year,

St. Vincent de Paul conducts a number

of special drives to collect and distribute

basic necessities like food, clothing and

other items. In partnership with media

and corporate sponsors, these programs

are made possible by donations from

thousands of area residents.

Fan and Air Conditioner Drive

In cooperation with Channel 9, Huntington Bank, Coney

Island, and Cincinnati Firefi ghters Union Local 48, St.

Vincent de Paul conducted a summer fan drive to collect

fans, air conditioners and monetary donations. Fans and

air conditioners are distributed to those in need, with

special consideration for the elderly, sick and very young.

Fans distributed: 505

Air conditioners distributed: 124

need for warm winter wear even more pressing. Every

year, St. Vincent de Paul and WLWT-TV (Channel 5)

answer this need by working with local fi re departments,

Carns Coats for Kids and other partners to collect new

and gently used coats.

Coats collected: 6,236 (a record-breaking drive)

Food From the Heart

The Kroger Company, WXIX-TV (Channel 19), and

St. Vincent de Paul have collaborated for more than

17 years to bring cheer to families in need through the

Food From the Heart food drive, a cherished Cincinnati

holiday tradition. Non-perishable items are collected at

Kroger locations and distributed in local neighborhoods

and St. Vincent de Paul food pantries.

Food collected: 75,775 pounds (5,000 pounds more

than 2006’s eff ort)

Cincinnati Reds Food Drive

St. Vincent de Paul and the Cincinnati Reds, both estab-

lished locally in 1869, collaborated to conduct their fi rst

joint food drive in 2007. Fans donated non-perishable

food at the ballpark gates prior to a Cincinnati Reds game.

Food collected: 2,500 pounds

Macy’s Mattress and Furniture Drive

Through an ongoing partnership with Macy’s Kenwood

Furniture Gallery, St. Vincent de Paul schedules pick-ups

of gently used furniture and mattresses. The three-day

event occurs twice a year, in the fall and in the spring.

Furniture donations: 189

Each Christmas, organizations, families and businesses

step forward to help hundreds of local families struggling

to make ends meet. Each sponsor is given a Christmas

wish list for a specifi c family—toys for the children, ba-

sic household items or toiletries for the adults and cloth-

ing for each person. Sponsors either deliver gifts directly

to the family or send them through St. Vincent de Paul.

Christmas Toy Programs

St. Vincent de Paul works with many individuals, orga-

nizations and businesses to provide Christmas toys to

children in need. Through St. Vincent de Paul’s Christmas

Angels program, individuals can donate gifts so that

children in need can have a happy Christmas. At local

parishes, parishioners help by buying gifts listed on

Christmas Giving Trees. Other parishes, such as St.

Vivian, Sacred Heart, and St. Bartholomew, provided

gifts for children living in Winton Hills.

Families receiving gifts: 371

Shop with a Bengal

Eight Cincinnati Bengals players helped make the 2007

holiday season brighter for local children from the St.

Vincent de Paul Adopt-A-Family program when they

personally accompanied the children to Toys “R” Us

in Kenwood. The annual “Shop With a Bengal” event

partners Bengals players with local children in need.

Each child had the opportunity to select his or her own

Christmas presents plus a gift for a loved one, thanks to

the generosity of the individual players — Shayne Gra-

ham, Stacy Andrews, Landon Johnson, Hernana-Daze

Jones, Levi Jones, Carson Palmer, Kenny Watson and

Bobbie Williams.

Thanksgiving and Christmas Food

and Gift Baskets

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul distributes food pack-

ages to needy families throughout the holidays. Volun-

teers distribute the packages through St. Vincent de

Paul food pantries or by delivering the meals directly to

the home of those being helped. Because St. Vincent de

Paul’s assistance emphasizes the importance of family,

groceries are distributed so families can cook and share

a meal in their own homes, no matter how humble.

Thanksgiving food baskets distributed: 2,090

Christmas food and gifts distributed through St. Vincent
