	In 2009 members of the organization called themselves the "Silent Society" for its quiet, charitable work that often attracted little attention. In 2008 the Society answered an estimated 3,500 requests reflecting nearly 16,000 need people for help from the twelve Catholic parishes that support the conference. Assistance remained primarily in the form of food, clothing, furniture, or other household items normally using vouchers to the organization's two retail thrift stores. Although operated by Catholic churches, anyone could apply for help by contacting their nearest Catholic church. Society volunteers also worked closely with other social service agencies.

	Prior to 2018 the Society gave clients a bag of pre-selected canned goods and other non-perishable items. Vouchers were then given for the purchase of perishable goods like milk and eggs as nearby grocery stores. When a review of vouchers was made, however, it was found that purchases were made of less desirable "junk" food. A remedy was made when a large cooler was purchased for the organization's 1351 Iowa St. facility. Once installed, the cooler allowed the purchase of more nutritious foods. (8)		Society operated stores at 1351 Iowa St. and 4990 Radford Road in 2012 offered a special program to provide clothing to people in need. Three items of clothing were provided free to people in need through a voucher system. If the recipient was a child, he or she had to be accompanied to the store by a parent with a Social Security card for each child receiving aid. (8)

VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY. Frédéric Ozanam left his home in Lyon, France, in the autumn of 1831 and registered in the School of Law at the Sorbonne, University of Paris. Frédéric collaborated with Mr. Emmanuel Bailly, editor of the '''Tribune Catholique''', in reviving a student organization which had been suspended during the revolutionary activity of July 1830. They called their new association "The Conference of History." The group met on Saturdays to discuss various topics, everything but politics. (1)

			At one of their meetings, a student challenged Frédéric and the practicing Catholics. He admitted that the Catholic Church had done much good work in the past, but "what do you do now?" Frédéric called for a meeting of five of his friends at Mr. Bailly's office. On April 23, 1833, Frédéric's twentieth birthday, they decided to establish the "Conference of Charity" to assist the poor. In a short time, they changed their name to The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in honor of their patron. (2)
