For the 6th year, Reds baseball fans helped St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) to Strike Out Hunger
in the community.
Fans attending the June 13th Reds vs Indians game at Great American Ball Park donated
10,000 pounds of canned goods – enough to provide 8,500 meals to those in need! The
wives of Reds players and volunteers from St. Vincent de Paul collected the food before
and during the game. For contributing to the food drive, fans received tickets to the July
30th game between the Reds and the San Diego Padres. The Cincinnati Reds and WLWT
partnered with SVDP to sponsor the drive.
“We are grateful to the fans who donated food." said Liz Carter, executive director of St.
Vincent de Paul. "Their generosity will help struggling families in our community feed
their children this summer.”
In 2011, St. Vincent de Paul provided more than 70,000 people with groceries, enough
people to fill Great American Ball Park more than one and a half times. About half of the
people fed were children.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul has been helping Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton
County residents in need with the basic necessities of life for more than 140 years. With a
Charitable Pharmacy as well as a network of seven food pantries and seven thrift stores
and donation centers across Cincinnati, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul continues to be
a leading community service organization. SVDP was recently recognized as a One Award
Finalist, by The Better Business Bureau (BBB) as a Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics
winner and by The CincinnatiUSA Regional Chamber of Commerce as Non-Profit of the Year.

On June 30th, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden opened its newest exhibit – Cat Canyon! Originally opened in
1934 as Tiger Grotto, the recent, major renovations allows visitors to see the Zoo’s big cats closer than ever before.
One of the highlights is a new viewing area offering an opportunity to stand eye-to-eye with Malayan tigers, with just
an inch of glass in between.
In addition to Malayan tigers, Cat Canyon is home to white tigers and snow leopards in immersive exhibits that
showcase the majesty and grace of these amazing cats. With two new viewing areas overlooking three new outdoor
exhibits, waterfalls, new rock work, a wooden bridge, eye-to-eye viewing panes and lush play spaces for the animals,
this exhibit promises to be exciting for young and old alike.
Linking visitors to Night Hunters, Cat Canyon hopes to provide guests with a new, exciting adventure into the world
of the great predators, while strengthening the Zoo’s commitment to the conservation of threatened species through
education and scientific research in the wild and at the Zoo. Cat Canyon is presented by The Spaulding Foundation.
Generous donations also from the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pichler, Mr. and Mrs. R.
Kerry Clark, The H.B., E. W. & F.R. Luther Charitable Foundation, Winfried L. and Emil L. Barrows Fund, John Hauck
Foundation and the Dorothy M. Kersten Charitable Trust.
