100+ Women Who Care
Milwaukee Metro West
St. Vincent de Paul Society Donations from 100 Women Who Care--MKE Metro West Increased by 50% by Generous Donor, Bringing Total to almost $13,500
On August 16 2022, three members of 100 Women Who Care--MKE Metro West (Sue Kapke who suggested SVDP, Jane Condon, and Kathy Olsen) delivered our donations of almost $9,000 to two executive of St. Vincent de Paul Society of Milwaukee (Executive Director Deborah Duskey and Director of Philanthropy & Communication Rebecca Surges.)
In mid September, we received notification that our donations were increased by 50% by a very generous donor.
We look forward to learning how these funds were used from Deborah and Rebecca at our November 100WWC-MMW meeting. Read more below about this wonderful organization below.
St. Vincent de Paul of Milwaukee
st. Vincent de Paul is dedicated to eliminating poverty and hunger throughout the County. For over 39 years, the STDP Meal Program has provided hot nutritious meals to children and adults throughout the community. 2022 has been a very hard year for families everywhere to get the basic food.
International History
In 1833, the St. Vincent de Paul Society was founded in Paris. Frederic Ozanam, a 20 year old university student, is considered the principal founder of the Society because of his leadership within a small group of similarly-minded students. Their model of visiting the poor of the Paris slums was adopted widely, reaching Milwaukee in 1849. St. Vincent de Paul "conferences," as the volunteer groupings are called, were established in several Milwaukee Catholic parishes.
Local History
The Society has conferences at 45 locations in Milwaukee County. There are also volunteers of many faiths who prepare and serve food at our meal programs. Some also offer their time and talent as volunteers at SVDP thrift stores.

They are extremely grateful for all items given and hope that we all can continue to contribute items in the future. Items that they have great need for are
Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, Free & Clear Liquid Laundry Detergent, Disinfectant Spray, and Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Thank you for any of these items you can provide.
