Donation Events

Every month with a Fifth Sunday is another opportunity to give to the SJB SVDP Conference.  Parishioners will have an extra envelope for that Sunday to drop in the collection basket.  SVDP Conference members will be the doors after those Sunday masses to accept free will offerings.

At every mass or when church doors are unlocked you may make a pantry donation via the green bin, located in the left foyer of the church.  We collect the items donated 1-2 times per week and place them at the pantry.

Each March Boy Scout Troop 408 will setup a tents at the St. John the Baptist church to allow  parishioners and the public to stop and drop dry good foods, household cleaning products and personal hygiene items for the St. Vincent DePaul (SVDP) food pantry.   SVDP offers these donations  to our neighbors in need via its community outreach efforts with delivery or during the monthly drive thru pantry at the monthly Bountiful Hearts Free Community Meals. 

March 2025 - TBD

SVDP works with SJTB parishioners and surrounding community in the spring and fall to help with a little "spring cleaning".  SVDP brings in the St. Vincent DePaul donation trailer to the school parking lot for a weekend.  Parishioners can then clean out their closets of gently used clothes, shoes and other items such as household furniture items such as lamps, toasters and other items.   Just drive up, pop your trunk and SVDP will gather up the donations and provide you with a receipt if you want one.

October 26th & 27th, 2024

Each year the SJTB community has a parish picnic at Stricker's Grover family owned amusement park.  Those who come are encouraged to bring pantry items for donation.   

2025 Dates TBD

Each year cold weather arrives and many of our neighbors face it without proper winter clothing.  Your SVDP conference, SJB School and St, John The Baptist parishioners collect coats to be given out the 2nd Saturday in December.   We work with the SVDP Cincinnati Council and the SJB school Service Club.   It's a great way for our children to get service hours and build a commitment of volunteerism that we pray lasts a lifetime.  

Distribution December 14, 2024; 9AM-Noon; School Gym

Each year Christmas comes but for some it would not come without the help others.  Many families/parents can't afford Christmas gifts or even the most basic winter clothing for their children or themselves.  We in St. Vincent DePaul at the St John the Baptist conference believe no family should be deprived of Christmas morning memories.    We work in collaboration with the parish to gather neighbor in need Christmas wish lists and post for the parish to select and purchase.  All the gift are gathered, wrapped and then distributed to the our neighbors.

2024 Dates TBD
