Holy Family’s conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has been operating a Food Pantry serving the poor for several years now. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of requests we’ve received for food to be delivered has more than doubled. In addition to food, we provide home cleaning products, toiletries, and feminine hygiene items. Our shelves are not bare, but we are running low on these types of items and certain kinds of foods. Can you help? On Saturday, July 11, we will have a drive-by collection in the south parking lot. Financial donations will be accepted as well. The HFN SVdP conference provides financial assistance to poor families who need help paying rent, utilities and other bills.
