St. Vincent de Paul NKY breaks ground on more than a building, preparing to serve the community in a new way

St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky broke ground on its new headquarters near its current Crescent Springs store location. The project, funded by the Hands of Hope Capital Campaign, will provide 40,000 square feet of space designed to address the increasing needs of the local community.

The new facility will include an expanded food pantry, a teaching kitchen, a chapel, and additional community spaces, along with expanded retail and warehouse areas. Dawn Groneck, chair of the St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky board, stated that the new building will create a visible and daily impact on those served by the organization.

HCG Construction of the Huseman Group will complete the building, which was designed by GBBN architects. Adam Kuehne, chief operating officer of the Huseman Group, noted that site work is nearly finished and building pads are ready for the foundation phase. The ceremonial groundbreaking was attended by local leaders, including Erlanger Mayor Jessica Fette, Kenton County Commissioner Beth Sewell, and Deacon Jim Fortner, chief operating officer of the Diocese of Covington.
