Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Room
The Food Pantry and Sandwich Kitchen (formerly Sandwich Window) began in 1980 in a small room in the Parish center. In June of 2002, a renovated space called the Seton Room became the storage, distribution, and hospitality center for St. Vincent's Food Pantry and Sandwich Kitchen, serving the poor and homeless men, women, and children who come to our Parish.

Through the efforts of parishioner volunteers, more than 350 individuals in 250 households in our community will receive groceries from the Food Pantry, which are sorted and assembled in the Seton Room.  Scroll down to see the latest numbers.

The renovation of this space was made possible through the many generous donations of money, time, and talent from the people of St. Vincent. Learn more about Elizabeth Ann Seton.
