The Food Pantry is in need of peanut butter donations for our families. Due to the increase in the cost of peanut butter, it’s become difficult to keep our supplies at steady levels.

We are asking that the donations of peanut butter be in 16-18 oz jar sizes. Thank you for your continued support in providing meaningful food to our pantry families.

Every Tuesday groceries are distributed to the individuals and households who need them in our community.

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

For individuals, the age breakdown is approximately:

Age:		0 - 18:	20%		19 - 40:	10%
		41 - 60:	35%		61 ++:	35%

Food items are received to provide an additional bag of groceries for our food pantry families that will help make their Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas meals special.

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.

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.
