Are you passionate about helping to alleviate hunger? The St. Vincent de Paul Meal Program is depended upon by children and adults who are hungry and in need of an evening meal. The majority of people who eat at our sites report that they would not have access to a meal if our program didn't exist. Our sites are volunteer-run and you can make the difference! We serve meals nightly Sunday-Friday, but have a particularly difficult time finding volunteers on Sunday nights. Please consider helping to serve hungry children and adults their dinner on Sunday!
Volunteers are needed any time after 3pm and the meal is served from 5:30-6:15pm.
