In 1925, the needs of neighbors struggling to make ends meet galvanized a small group of Madison Catholic parishioners – and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul — Madison was born. A century later, SVdP Madison volunteers, supporters, and employees’ compassion, dedication and fortitude continue to provide help and hope to countless neighbors in need.
The centennial will be a year-long celebration to honor all of the caring people (past and present) who’ve provided help and hope and to recommit ourselves to serve in the next century.

We – shoppers, donors, employees, and volunteers – are a network of charity and social justice encircling Dane County.
To celebrate a century of Helping Our Neighbors In Need, we need YOUR help to collect stories / quotes about your experience with SVdP Madison and / or St. Vinny’s Thrift Stores.
