Society of St. Vincent de Paul — Madison

Ownership

The District Council of Madison Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international charity with a local presence, headquartered in Madison and operated by local leadership. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with deep Madison roots since 1925.

Local Sourcing

Food inventory comes from a 1.25 acre food pantry garden that produces over 12,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables for the food pantry, supplemented by donations. Most sourcing appears local/regional through donations and the garden.

Community Involvement

Over 1,400 people volunteered with us last year and the organization runs food pantries, pharmacies, housing programs and case management across Dane County. Deep institutional ties throughout Madison community.

Local Workforce

The organization has 51-200 employees and actively recruits volunteers with positive testimonials. No negative labor practice indicators found.

Revenue Retention

Seven Dane County stores turn donations of goods into affordable purchases for families with low incomes. All revenue stays in the community through charitable services and thrift operations.

Local Presence

Mixed signals: Strong local presence with Madison/WI references, multiple named locations (Williamson Street Store, Odana Road Store, etc.), local phone numbers, and community-focused mission language ('Serving Dane County since 1925'). However, corporate structure is evident in multi-location selector showing 7+ stores, formal 'Careers' portal, and organizational hierarchy (Senior Staff, Strategic Plan), suggesting a regional nonprofit organization rather than single-location business.
