St. Vincent De Paul - Cincinnati Honors Local Hero
Ohio Governor Appoints Three to Cincinnati State Board of Trustees
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul-Cincinnati (SvDP) recently honored Pam Farley at a Black History
Month celebration at the SvDP West End Outreach Center.  Recognized for her service to the
community, she has been active for 48 years in the West End parish of St. Joseph where she serves
on various committees through which she is an advocate for the rights and needs of local senior
citizens and local struggling families.  Through her work with St. Vincent de Paul she has helped
many local residents avoid losing their homes and provided a warm place to sleep and food for
many neighborhood children.

In addition, she was recognized for her commitment to fairness, and her emphatic approach to
serving those in need, “Ms. Pam” has coordinated events to promote community engagement
including holiday food distributions, the Parktown Community Block Party and a health fair in
conjunction with her local fire station.

High-fives “Ms. Pam” and St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati!
