The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international voluntary organization in the Catholic Church, founded in 1833 for the sanctification of its members by personal service of the poor. Innumberable Catholic parishes have established "conferences," most of which affiliate with a diocesan council. Among its varied efforts to offer material help to the poor or needy, the Society has thrift stores which sell donated goods at a low price and raise money for the poor. There are a great variety of outreach programs sponsored by the local conferences and councils, addressing local needs for social services.
