We are dedicated to fighting poverty and hunger
throughout Cook and Lake Counties.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago has been reaching out in our local communities throughout Cook and Lake Counties since 1857. We have the experience of being a force of good throughout times of war, global pandemics, economic crisis, and social changes. SVdP has helped many with utility bills, rent, food, transportation, and medical expenses, thanks to the generosity and hard work of our Chicagoland Vincentians and dedicated supporters.

These accomplishments reflect a deep commitment to serving our neighbors and strengthening our communities.

We have provided food to countless individuals and families in need throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburban communities through our food pantries, holiday meal basket programs, community dinners, and other outreach events. We have supplied clothing and essential items to people experiencing homelessness, struggling young families, and veterans working to overcome difficult periods in their lives.

We have helped prevent homelessness by connecting individuals and families with shelters, identifying affordable housing options, and providing short-term rental assistance during times of financial hardship. Most importantly, we have continued to offer hope, support, and compassion to the most vulnerable members of our communities when they have had nowhere else to turn.

Together, these efforts have helped meet immediate needs, restore dignity, and create pathways toward greater stability and self-sufficience for those we serve.

Why I Said Yes to St. Vincent de Paul Chicago

Why Do We Say Yes?

Serving with The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago is more than a commitment, but a purpose. Together, we walk alongside our neighbors, offering hope, support, and human connection where it matters most. Our Board of Directors and District Presidents share their testimonies on why they said yes, and how they see the need and feel called to respond to our Friends in Need.
