You Gave Them ComfortAs our Vincentians enter

the homes of our neighbors

in need, every day we see

families coming out of

shelters to apartments

without any furniture at all,

grandparents who have taken

in their grandchildren, and

mothers trying to re-establish

a home after fl eeing an

abusive relationship. St.

Vincent de Paul provides

a complete bed set to

neighbors who would otherwise be

sleeping on the fl oor.

Neighbors like Kristin, Cassidy and

Aaron. Faced with an abusive relation-

ship, Kristin and her young children

were forced to move to a new part of

town. But for Kristin, the relief of mov-

ing on was quickly replaced with the

reality that she couldn’t aff ord even

the most basic furniture items and

that she and her children would be

sleeping on the cold fl oor. With nowhere

else to turn, Kristin called the local

Catholic Church and was put in touch

with Larry, a member of the St. Vincent

de Paul Conference.

Tornado ReliefYou can still help as area

families aff ected by recent

tornados work to rebuild

their lives. If you would like

to help these families in

practical ways now and in

the future, please consider

making a gift of any amount

by visiting SVDPcincinnati.

org or by calling (513)421-

HOPE. Be sure to acknowl-

edge that the gift is intended

for tornado relief. One

hundred percent of your gift

will go to help victims of the

disaster. Please keep these

families in your prayers.

Many are still in shock,

uncertain of what to do and

in need of all the love and

support we can off er.

Give Hope Through the St. Vincent de Paul Annual Campaign

You can be the hope

for a family in need

in your community.

Please consider a

gift to St. Vincent

de Paul–Cincinnati’s

Annual Campaign

and give much needed assistance to

families who struggle to provide basic

necessities during diffi cult times.

If you’re considering a gift to St. Vincent

de Paul, but would like to learn more

about our mission and the impact of

your generosity, you are welcome to

attend one of a series of events to kick

off this year’s campaign. We will be

hosting two breakfasts on the mornings

of Thursday, April 26 and Tuesday,

Home Visits Inspire Passion for the Mission of St. Vincent de PaulAll Christians are called to be

in solidarity with the poor. At

St. Vincent de Paul we have a

wonderful Board of Directors

composed of Vincentians and community thought-

leaders who have a heart to help the poor. How do

Board members become engaged with the poor so

that their business guidance can always be aligned

with our mission?

This past February, the St. Vincent de Paul Board of Directors

made a retreat at the St. Vincent de Paul Ozanam Center (this

is a retreat program located on the 3rd fl oor of the Bank Street

Outreach Center.) There were many “ahah” moments, but the

cornerstone of the retreat was the home visits. There is noth-

ing that grounds a person in our mission better than making

a visit to the poor in their home. Only with that person-to-

person contact, can you see a tear glistening in the eyes of the

client when she says “I’m really scared. I don’t have the money

to pay my rent and I am afraid I am going to lose my home.”

There is no doubt you are in solidarity with the poor when

you personally feel their fear. Another team visited a woman

who was living in one room in an old broken down house with

no heat. There was no place to sit while they talked. When

they joined hands for prayer, her fi ngers felt like ice. No doubt,

the feel of this woman’s ice-cold hands put this team in soli-

darity with her.

St. Vincent de Paul is the only “help” organization that visits

the poor in their homes. Meeting our clients on their turf not

only dignifi es the visit (we like to think of ourselves as guests

in their homes), but it also allows us to personally experience,

in a real and physical way, their pain. Only then can you begin

to feel what it might be like to walk in their shoes.

The St. Vincent de Paul Board of Directors left the Retreat

more grounded in our mission to serve the poor, lonely and

forgotten of our community through these personal encoun-

ters! If you or an organization you are associated with would

like to make a retreat at our Bank Street Outreach Center,

please call 513-562-8841 ext. 231 or email Ozanam@SVDPcin-

cinnati.org. I can guarantee you will leave more spiritually

refreshed, as well as with a better understanding of the deep

needs of the less fortunate in our community.

Matthew 25: 37–40 calls each of us to take personal responsi-

bility for our less fortunate neighbors; I am quite certain it is

not something God intended us to pass on to agencies or our

government. At St. Vincent de Paul, we are neighbors helping

neighbors; the staff , board of directors, our programs, and the

facility are simply there as aids to help us reach out and meet

the poor one person at a time in their homes.

Sandy Brielmaier, Cincinnati District Council President

St. Vincent de Paul is the only “help”

organization that visits the poor in their

homes; meeting our clients on their turf

not only dignifi es the visit but allows us

to personally experience their pain.

will be held at our Outreach

Center at 1125 Bank St.

If you plan on attending

one of these events, please

consider inviting a friend,

colleague or family member

who might wish to learn

more about St. Vincent

de Paul and our mis-

sion to provide spiritual,

emotional and material

assistance on a person-to-person basis to the

poor, lonely and forgotten in our community. To RSVP or

for more information on the events, call 513-421-HOPE.

Need for Charitable Pharmacy Continues to GrowThanks to the generosity of many in the

local medical and business communi-

ties and all of those who support it, the

St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy

has continued to grow and serve more

people in need each year. In 2011, the

Charitable Pharmacy fi lled more than

39,000 prescriptions valued at around $4

million, a 25 percent increase over 2010.

The Charitable Pharmacy remains the

only pharmacy in Southwest Ohio pro-

viding free professional pharmaceutical

care to those who could not otherwise

aff ord their prescription medication.

St. Vincent de Paul Executive Director

Liz Carter said she expects the number

of prescriptions to rise again in 2012.

“Although we already operate a very

effi cient and lean program, it is not a

business,” she said. “Our pharmacy is

a ministry to people who have some

tough choices to make. That is why it is

important that the staff and board of di-

rectors of the Charitable Pharmacy work

to fi nd new resources and maximize

what resources we already have. It is also

important that the community contin-

ues to support the program. A gift to St.

Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy

really can save a life.”

Seeing the excitement on the faces of

Cassidy and Aaron as Larry delivered

two new beds lifted an immense burden

off of Kristin’s shoulders. Sadly, because

of overwhelming need in the commu-

nity, the waiting list for beds is several

months long, and often our Vincentians

aren’t able to add new families to the

list because there aren’t enough beds

to go around.

A gift of just $100 to

St. Vincent de Paul’s Bob

Rahe Mattress Fund can

give a child in need a soft,

comfortable place to sleep.

Introducing Vincentian Volunteers of CincinnatiLive in Faith • Grow in Friendship • Serve in Solidarity

St. Vincent de Paul is launching an excit-

ing new year of service program called

the Vincentian Volunteers of Cincinnati

(VVC). VVC is a faith-based, year-long,

residential service program rooted in St.

Vincent de Paul’s mission and tradition.

VVC welcomes young professionals,

ages 20–30, to apply for this exciting

opportunity to explore the connection

between faith and service and learn

more about our community.

Vincentian Volunteers commit 11

months to living together in community

in the West End and working at SVDP

in a variety of capacities including the

Choice Food Pantry, Charitable Phar-

macy, Social Services, and the Ozanam

Center for Service Learning. They will

participate in weekly refl ection and in

SVDP Conference life.

All basic expenses will be covered —

room and board, health insurance, and

a monthly stipend. In addition, we will

support people in securing loan defer-

ment when possible, and the Volunteers

will receive an Education Award upon

completion of their year of service. The

program will begin in late August 2012.

For more information, visit www.SVDP-

cincinnati.org, or contact Maura Carpi-

nello at 513-562-8841 ext. 239 or VVC@

Volunteer OpportunitiesYou can help families in need by giving your time. The

personal touch of our volunteers gives families the

hope they need to continue through a diffi cult situation.

Contact Christina Mullis at cmullis@svdpcincinnati.org or

513-562-8841 x211 for more information or to sign up.

Offi ce Assistance Calls for help continue to increase and

volunteers are needed to answer the more than 175 calls each

day from families that have nowhere else to turn. Join us at our

Bank St. Outreach Center to give hope and encouragement to

neighbors in need.

Home Visits Volunteers are needed to make home visits to

our neighbors in need of furniture and other basic necessities.

Home visits are made from the Bank St. Outreach Center on

Wednesday mornings from 9–11 am.

Intake and Application Assistance Each month, more

than 600 families visit our Bank St. Choice Food Pantry. To

provide better hospitality to our neighbors in need, volun-

teers are needed to work one-on-one with clients to complete

fi nancial assistance applications and intake forms for the

food pantry database. For the pantry, volunteers are needed

on Tuesdays

from 10 am–noon

at 1125 Bank St.

Volunteers are also

needed to pick up

donated food dur-

ing the week.

Group Volunteer Opportunities Gather a group from your

business, church, school, family or circle of friends to prepare

and serve a healthy breakfast to clients waiting for services, or

to bring in collected personal care items or snacks for clients

in need. There is also a need for groups to assist with special

projects to help maintain and organize our service operations

at the Bank St. Outreach Center.

Organize a Drive Lend a hand by organizing a drive or

event at your school, offi ce or church to collect food, baby

items, clothing, household items or furniture. Our staff can

help you organize. Call 513-421-HOPE for more information or

to get started.

Adopt-A-Store As needs increase, more families rely on our

thrift stores. Make a life-changing diff erence by volunteering

to sort donations, create displays, straighten and stock one of

our seven St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores.

Make the Most of Your

Gift With Employer

Matching Programs

Did you know that some companies

match fi nancial gifts made by their

employees to qualifi ed charities?

Often it’s as easy as sending a provided

form along with your donation. Contact

your human resources department to

inquire about a matching program and

to see if your gift to St. Vincent de Paul

qualifi es. Doing so could potentially

double your contribution at no extra cost

to you, thus maximizing your support for

your neighbors in need. A list of some

participating local companies can be

found at www.SVDPcincinnati.org.

Leave a legacy of hope

With tax-favored methods of giving,

anyone can leave a legacy of hope for

many local neighbors in need. For

more information on how you can

eff ectively give through fi nancial and

estate planning, contact Karen Williams

Thanks to You, She Finds Hope and Keeps a Home

Brenda knew the mission of St. Vincent

de Paul and its impact on neighbors

in need. As a long time employee of

St. Vincent de Paul at the Este Ave.

facility, she never thought she would

have such a need. Then, when a medical

condition worsened to the point where

she was hospitalized and then not able

to move about freely, her doctor sug-

gested she stop working and apply for

disability benefi ts.

Brenda did as her doctor instructed but

the application and approval process

and her physical condition left her

without her income for months and

even when she was approved, there

was a waiting period until her benefi ts

began. Her hard earned savings kept her

in her apartment and food on the table

for awhile, but when those ran out, she

began to fall behind on her rent and was

in danger of losing her home.

“It was frustrating having worked all

those years to now have no control,”

she said. “If I could just fi nd a way to

cover my rent until my benefi ts began,

I’d be OK.”

A visit to St. Vincent de Paul’s Bank St.

Outreach Center and a meeting with

a St. Vincent de Paul case manager

brought the answer to her prayers when

she was approved for rental assistance

through St. Vincent de Paul’s Homeless-

ness Prevention Program — an approval

that Brenda said is doing just as its

name implies.

“I already knew that St. Vincent de Paul

is a wonderful organization,” she said.

“And now I’ve experienced fi rst-hand

the generosity of the people who sup-

port them.”

You can give hope to a family in danger

of losing their home by supporting

St. Vincent de Paul’s Homelessness

Prevention Program. Through the

Homelessness Prevention Program,

$500 can help keep a family in their

home while $1,000 can keep the lights

and heat on for up to six families. Visit

Betty RosemondBetty Daniels Rosemond, manager of

the Colerain Ave. St. Vincent de Paul

Thrift Store remembers walking into

her interview with St. Vincent de Paul

28 years ago to fi nd her interviewer

wearing the same Holy Spirit pin that

she was wearing. She was hired later

that afternoon.

Since that day, Betty has shared her faith

and spirit and often samples of her in-

spirational poetry with shoppers, donors

and volunteers. “I love organizations

like St. Vincent de Paul that help people,”

she said. “I see the Lord at work here.”

Betty was honored for a diff erent

contribution, however, at the National

Women’s Law Center’s Annual Din-

ner in Washington, D.C. where she met

President Barack Obama. Betty was

recognized at the dinner for her role in

the Freedom Rides in support of the civil

rights movement.

Betty spent a good part of 1961 with

other freedom riders riding buses across

the south and testing bus stations. At

a station in Poplarville, Miss, she was

stranded at a phone booth when the bus

she was riding pulled away to avoid an

angry mob.

Betty was calling to report that her com-

panions had been abducted when the

bus departed. Her message reached the

offi ce of Attorney General Robert Ken-

nedy, and that call ensured her compan-

ions’ safety.

“I’ve always tried to do what’s right,”

Betty said. “And that’s all that we were

doing. We were not going to stop. It was

right and it was important.”

Betty continues to do what’s right

through her work with St. Vincent de

Paul and calls her 28-year career with

the Society “a blessing,” a sentiment

that is shared by those who have had the

fortune to work with her.

“Betty is an inspiration to those whose

lives she has touched through her work

and through her faith,” said Prentice

Carter, operations director, St. Vincent

de Paul-Cincinnati. “She is a cherished

part of St. Vincent de Paul.”

Merrill Lynch Associates Mobilize to Help Neighbors in NeedSt. Vincent de Paul-Cincinnati’s year-

long service and donation partnership

with the Ohio Valley Merrill Lynch

offi ces kicked off this spring with March

Mattress Madness, a drive to purchase

mattress sets and collect bedding mate-

rials to distribute to families who come

to St. Vincent de Paul with little to no

furniture and no means to provide basic

comforts such as a soft place to sleep.

“It really is heartbreaking to visit the

homes of our neighbors in need and fi nd

small children, parents, the elderly and

the sick having to sleep on a cold, hard

fl oor,” said Liz Carter, executive director,

St. Vincent de Paul-Cincinnati. “Beds are

one of our most requested items and we

are grateful to the Merrill Lynch leader-

ship and associates for helping families

with this basic need.”

March Mattress Madness is part of a

year-long partnership with Merrill Lynch

which will include seasonal projects to

provide unique assistance when needed

most. Future projects will include school

supplies, food and family care items and

Christmas gifts.

“This is a partnership that will have a

tremendous impact on our neighbors in

need,” Carter said.

“I’ve always tried to do what’s right.” Betty Rosemond

“Beds are one of our most requested items and we are grateful to the Merrill Lynch leadership and as-sociates for helping fami-lies with this basic need.”

They Shared Their Special DayAs the expression goes, “Good things

come in small packages.” Now, so do

good intentions, thanks to a couple

very generous six-year-olds who turned

their special days into an opportunity to

make a big impact on the lives

of their neighbors in need.

And the story begins

with what else? Pizza!

Pizza-making parties,

that is.

For Sofi a, the idea of

using a pizza party

to help others while

celebrating her own

birthday was no surprise.

“She’s always been mindful

of people with needs,” said her

mother, Christina. “And for her birthday,

she wanted to help somebody local.”

That somebody local, it turns out, will

be neighbors of the St. Vincent de Paul

conference at St. Gertrude Parish in

Madeira. In lieu of gifts, Sofi a requested

that her friends’ parents donate money

to be used to help people in need of

emergency assistance in their own

neighborhood.

“Sofi a found out that St. Vincent de Paul

can use that money to turn on some-

body’s electricity and that’s what she

wanted to do.” Christina said.

For John, the idea of requesting gifts

for others instead of toys was natural,

considering the timing of his party in

early January. “We explained to him

that he got so many toys for Christmas

and from his family for his birthday but

that there were kids who not only don’t

get toys, but some also need something

as simple as a new toothbrush,”

said John’s mother,

Heather. “Some-

body not having

a toothbrush

was a foreign

concept to

him and I

think that hit

home with

him so that’s

what he wanted

to do — collect

toothbrushes.”

At John’s own pizza-making sixth birth-

day party, his friends donated bags of

colorful toothbrushes, soaps and other

personal care items for children. The

items were given to St. Vincent de Paul

to distribute from the Bank St. Outreach

Center to be given to families, for whom

special personal care items for children

are an unknown luxury.

Both mothers claim the response from

their friends was positive and they were

very generous. Both are also very proud

of the giving spirit of their children.

“We are very happy and very proud of

Sofi a,” Christina said. “She is really re-

ally special.”

“John was excited to do it and we are so

blessed,” said Heather.

St. Vincent de Paul–CincinnatiHonored as ONE Award FinalistSt. Vincent de Paul–Cincinnati, was

recently honored as a fi nalist in the

process category for the ONE Award.

The ONE Award recognizes noteworthy

nonprofi t organizations in the Greater

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region

for their organizational performance.

It is modeled after the Baldridge Pro-

gram. St. Vincent de Paul was named

a fi nalist after an extensive application

and review process including an on-site

examination.

Easter Blessingsfrom St. Vincent de Paul–Cincinnati

“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies be-cause of His Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans 8:11

The Easter season is a time to

celebrate new life and new hope for

those who live in darkness and fear.

Charitable Pharmacy a BlessingJosh had

a ten-year

career as

an audio

techni-

cian with

a cruise

line and

later

on tour

with

Cirque du Soleil. His career off ered a

good salary with solid benefi ts which

aff orded him the insulin that he needs

every day.

A break in his tour coincided with

economic challenges and Josh found

himself without a job. Josh returned to

Cincinnati to live with family while he

searched for a job, but with no income, it

became impossible to pay the $450 per

month to cover his insulin.

“I felt helpless. With no work, I was fall-

ing behind on certain payments, but my

medicine was one expense that I had to

fi nd a way to cover,” Josh said.

Josh started cutting his dosage in half

and even ate less so he wouldn’t require

as much insulin. He was over 20 but

under 50 so he didn’t qualify for any

services or discounts from the manufac-

turer. “I literally couldn’t aff ord medicine

that I needed to keep me alive,” he said,

and the lack of medicine was not only

aff ecting his health. “I was scared and

overemotional. It was aff ecting my rela-

tionships with the people around me.”

Josh contacted the St. Vincent de Paul

Charitable Pharmacy. He was hesitant

at fi rst to do so as he wasn’t used to the

idea of asking for help, but the staff at

St. Vincent de Paul, including his case

worker Kendahl, put him at ease.

“Everyone was amazing,” he said. “Kend-

ahl was like a family member and made

me feel comfortable. The pharmacists

were professional and personable.”

Josh is awaiting word on a new position

that will once again off er him medical

coverage, but he is thankful that he had

the St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Phar-

macy when he needed it.

“I am completely thankful to those who

support St. Vincent de Paul’s pharmacy,”

he said. “It has been one of the biggest

blessings in my life.”

need who need life saving prescription
