Since 1895, St. Vincent's Home has cared for children. As an orphanage, as a relocation center for displaced youngsters, as a residential treatment center for emotionally disabled adolescents, and as a child-placing agency through Catholic Charities, St. Vincent's Home helped children in need.
In 1973, the board of St. Vincent's Home changed the focus of its child care effort, closed the institution and determined to broaden its services. It established the St. Vincent's Home, which makes grants to organizations whose mission is consistent with that history.
