Founded as a lay, Catholic organization, St. Vincent de Paul Louisville has been providing food, shelter, hope, and compassion to those in need throughout Louisville since 1853. From 22 buildings spread out across an entire city block in the Shelby Park neighborhood (Louisville, KY), today’s SVDP is a broadly supported social services campus that provides quality programs and services addressing poverty and related issues including hunger, homelessness, addiction recovery, and education for at-risk children.
