ARCHDIOCESE — The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) will host “Clean Out and Donate” weekends in April to collect critically needed household items, furniture and clothing. A SVDP truck will be on-site Saturdays and Sundays at the following parishes:

The collection truck will be attended before and after church services for donor-convenience, and donor tax receipts will be available. Donations collected from the weekends are distributed in the surrounding communities through St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores to benefit those in need throughout Greater Cincinnati.
 
St. Vincent de Paul accepts donations of gently used clothing, household items, furniture and cars year-round. Free pick-up service is available for large items.
