Donation Drives
Throughout the year, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul holds a number of drives to collect and distribute basic necessities like food, clothing and other items to help those in need. Through a grant from AmerenUE’s Energy Plus program, the St. Vincent de Paul’s Project Cool Breeze program enables us to provide much needed relief from the summer heat by purchasing fans. Fans are distributed to residents within the greater St. Louis metro area through our local SVDP conferences. Our year-round car donation program offers the benefit of a tax deduction to you and at the same time helps us help others. Food donations to our Annual Holiday Food Drive are distributed to Holy Trinity/Our Lady of Perpetual Help Food Pantry on Warne Ave. This pantry serves in excess of 450 low income families and 140 senior citizens each month. Many of whom cannot feed their families without the assistance of this pantry.
