| About | St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore is a charitable organization with a rich history dating back to 1865, when it was founded at the Basilica of the Assumption during the Civil War. Inspired by the values of their patron, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Society’s founder, Frederic Ozanam, the organization began by providing basic needs like food, clothing, and heating supplies to the poor in the Baltimore area. Initially focused on parish volunteer groups, a summer camp, and a collection bureau, the organization expanded its services in 1986 when it took over Beans & Bread, a local soup kitchen. Over time, St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore has grown into a vital community resource, offering programs for the homeless, employment training, early childhood education, and food access. |
