About

Since 1915, St. Vincent de Paul Center has been serving the needs of the working poor of Chicago at the corner of Halsted and Webster. Sponsored by the Daughters of Charity, St. Vincent’s provides vital programs and services in the areas of child development, social services, outreach to the homeless and services for the elderly.

• Child Development: St. Vincent’s provides care for over 440 children, ranging in age from three months to 13 years. The program includes early childhood education programs, pre-kindergarten programs, and a before/after-school/summer camp program. The program is NAEYC accredited, which is the mark of high-quality early childhood education.
• Senior Services: The Center provides outreach, assistance and case management for more than 100 low-income, isolated and mobility-limited Chicago seniors.
• Social Services Support: St. Vincent’s master’s-level social workers provide support and services for both children and families.
• Homeless Outreach: The program offers services to homeless individuals and those in danger of becoming homeless through preventive measures, provides basic needs items and services to clients, and connects clients with programs and services, such as housing and job training that will improve their situations.

St. Vincent de Paul Center strives to carry out its services and programs in the Vincentian tradition of compassionate charism, while serving the community with dignity and respect.
