We thank our volunteers and Vincentians who reach out to help others in need. We also remember our departed Vincentians and all the faithful departed, on this day of All Souls’ Day.
The countdown continues to Thanksgiving Distribution, only 1 ½ weeks away. Serving families in need has grown in our community over the last several months. You see the cost of food increasing more each week, not to mention household, paper and health items. It is difficult for families to afford, so sometimes, they go without proper nutrition and other items. SVDP is working to help provide proper nutritional food for families in our parish boundaries.
If you are in a position to help support the pantry, the following food and non-food items are listed in order of most importance:

Helping others can be very rewarding and sometimes frustrating. Our St. Isidore SVdP Conference tries to uplift our neighbors, if we can, from their current problems. When we do there is much joy with them and with us. If you are interested in joining the St. Isidore St. Vincent de Paul team, please call the office and leave your name and number, and a member of our team will get back with you, to let you know how we help others in need.
