The St Vincent de Paul food pantry feeds about 3000 households each month. The need for food donations has grown over the last few years and financial resources are severely constrained. Nonperishable food (peanut butter, cereal, canned chicken/tuna) and personal care items (toilet paper, diapers, toothpaste, shampoo) can be placed in the donation bin located outside the ushers room at IHM. To see a full list of food pantry needs or to make a financial donation visit their website.
