The St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP)/Sacred Heart Church Food Pantry serves hungry families of Sacred Heart Parish and the surrounding community at all times of the year. We are a chapter of the St. Vincent de Paul Society whose main mission is to provide food for needy people. All donations of food, cash contributions, and the 120 Club proceeds are combined into this one major effort. The SVDP at Sacred Heart is managed by a group of volunteer parishioners who, without compensation of any kind, feed many individuals. A recent Thanksgiving Open House at the Bishop Gendron Center was an eye-opener for those who visited and viewed the bags of food waiting to be distributed for Thanksgiving. Individuals needing support may contact the parish office at 625-9525. Your support is truly appreciated - thank you and God Bless You!
