The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Founded in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide organization of lay Catholics, following Christ’s call to serve the poor, the suffering, and the deprived.
The National Council of the United States was established to support local St. Vincent de Paul Conferences and Councils and to represent them among the global Society’s membership. Today, the National Council provides resources, training, and spiritual formation for nearly 100,000 Vincentians in 5,000 Conferences and Councils across the country.
Because “no work of charity is foreign to the Society,” Vincentians respond to many community and individual needs through programs such as disaster relief services, job training and placement, thrift stores, food pantries, housing programs, prison reentry, medical services, and many others, always seeking longer-term pathways out of poverty and towards the full flourishing of every person.
The food pantry takes place on Monday and Thursday afternoons. Interested individuals need to call 812-265-2920 after 11:00 AM and continue to call.
If you would be interested in volunteering at the local food pantry, please contact Mr. Tim Hoffman at 812-493-2673.
