Vincentian Service Day 2025: DePaul's Tradition of Giving to Others

​​​​More than 800 volunteers turned out for Vincentian Service Day held on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The annual tradition of giving back to our communities dates to 1998 and encourages students, staff, faculty, and alumni to participate in a day of service with dozens of partners across Chicago. Local volunteers participated at more than 30 Chicago area sites cleaning up neighborhood gardens and playgrounds. DePaul alumni across the country also took park in Vincentian Service Day by filling food pantry boxes, beautifying beaches and writing cards to sick children.
