St. Vincent de Paul

St. Vincent de Paul update for October 15, 2023

A Place at the Table: Jesus has prepared a banquet and we are all invited. As invited guests, we too can do our part in helping others during the holiday season. Perhaps it is helping the poor, as St Francis of Assisi shows us. Whether a gift of cash donation or helping our food pantry, we open our hearts to others less fortunate.

We are just about 4 weeks away from our Thanksgiving Distribution. Please keep our pantry list in mind as you shop in stores or online this week.

Here is a list of items the food pantry is in need of:

  • Stuffing
  • Boxed Mashed Potatoes
  • Gravy
  • Chicken Broth
  • Canned Carrots
  • Pasta Sides
  • Canned Green Beans
  • Canned Corn
  • Canned Fruit Cocktail
  • Boxed Jello
  • Corn Muffin Mix
  • Pumpkin Spice Bread Mix

  • Cake Mix
  • Frosting
  • $25 Gift Cards from Walmart, Meijer, Kroger – For Thanksgiving Meat and Produce
  • Helpers – Tuna and Chicken
  • Canned Chili
  • Mac & Cheese
  • Pump Hand Soap

Meijer has selected us again for the fall Simply Give season, October 1st – December 30th, with a double match day of December 16th. $10 gift cards are available in the church gathering space, or in the new Meijer grocery store on 24 Mile and Hayes. All Simply Give gift cards must be paid for at the new Meijer store.
