Host Your Own Drive

Every year, St. Vincent de Paul provides food, coats, personal care items and other essential items to more than 100,000 individuals in need. But we couldn’t do it without you. While we hold large drives with businesses and sports teams around town that tend to generate a lot of publicity and attention, a great deal of the goods that we distribute come from generous individuals like you who host their own drive.

Use the link below to sign up to host a drive, schedule drop-off for collection boxes or barrels, or arrange a pickup of your donations.

Host a Drive

Every Drive Makes a Big Difference

Common collections include food and personal care items which are distributed through our network of food pantries, diapers which are distributed through our Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, and clothing and household items which are distributed through our thrift stores. Items donated to thrift stores are either provided free of charge to neighbors in need through a voucher system or sold, with proceeds supporting the many programs of St. Vincent de Paul.

If you are hosting a drive on our behalf, please let us know by completing this form.

If you have questions, please contact drives@SVDPcincinnati.org.
