The Society of St. Vincent de Paul serves anyone in need, regardless of religion, race, gender, age, or national origin. You don't have to be Catholic to receive help. Vincentians respond to anyone who asks for assistance.
This location is the Central Council office of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at 4556 S Manhattan Avenue, Suite A, Tampa, FL 33611.

The Society is an independent, stand-alone nonprofit organization and is not part of the Diocese's Catholic Charities.
The Society provides food assistance through its food pantries and other programs across the region. Food is funded through local Catholic Church food collections, USDA food when available, private donations, and proceeds from their volunteer-operated Thrift Stores.
Beyond food, the Society offers a wide range of help including emergency financial assistance, clothing vouchers, grocery vouchers, bus tokens, prescriptions, State ID cards, housing support, emergency assistance, a night shelter, and referrals to other agencies. They also operate a Center of Hope, disaster relief, and scholarship programs.
You can support the Society through monetary donations, food donations, vehicle donations, bequests, and memorials. Contributions are tax-deductible as the Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Visit their website to learn more about giving.
The Society welcomes volunteers of all kinds, including individuals, student groups, and corporate groups. Volunteers help with food pantries, thrift stores, dining rooms, and direct assistance to people in need. To get involved, contact your local Parish Conference or District Council.
