The Society of St. Vincent DePaul is collecting non-perishable food items for our food pantry and the students that visit the Catholic Newman Center at Sacramento State University. The SVdP food pantry is in need of cereal, crackers, peanut butter, jelly/jam, cake, brownie and cookie mixes, and canned fruit. Many families in the St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart Parishes rely on assistance from our food pantry. The Newman Center is in need of ready to eat, small individual/ single serving size items. Think of grab and go. When selecting items please keep in mind most students only have access to a microwave and hot water. The students that visit the Newman Center rely on your donations to get them through their school day and study hours. A bag filled with non-perishable, unexpired food may be left inside the altar rail. Questions, call Emilia at 916 -927-1667. Thank you for your ongoing generosity!
The Society of St Vincent de Paul Sacred Heart and St. Mary’s Conference assists individuals and families in need. If you know someone or a family in need of resources (food, clothing, rent and/or utility assistance) and lives in the parish boundaries of St. Mary or Sacred Heart, they can reach us by calling and leaving a message at 916-476-8481.
