News - St. Vincent de Paul

Every month, members of our St. Vincent de Paul Conference help our neighbors in need in a variety of ways, including delivering food to their homes. With so many people struggling to make ends meet these days, our pantry shelves are getting low. Please consider donating needed items at Mass or the Pastoral Center: cleaning supplies (laundry detergent, paper towel, sponges), hygiene items (tp, soap, deodorant, etc.), and non-perishable food (pb, jelly, mac & cheese, canned food, pasta, rice, oatmeal, coffee, etc.). Thank you for your continued support! Click above to learn more.

When neighbors in need call, our wonderful Vincentian volunteers are there to respond with caring support and tangible assistance. They help with rent and utilities as well as bring bags of food to those experiencing hunger. Unfortunately, our pantry is very low on food and supplies, limiting their ability to help. Please consider donating non-perishable food, hygiene items (shampoo, toothpaste, etc.), diapers, and cleaning supplies. We are now able to resume our collection of items at in-person Masses (look for the basket by the baptismal font) and continue to accept donations at the Pastoral Center. Thank you for your ongoing generosity!

A big thanks to all who participated in the Rice Bowl program this year! As a community we raised over $5800! Thanks to your kindness we have touched the lives of the people served by Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official international humanitarian assistance program of the Catholic Church. Seventy-five percent of donations goes to CRS’s work in 100+ countries while twenty-five percent stays in Western Washington to help fund local hunger-alleviation efforts (OLG received grants for both the Peace Garden and St. Vincent de Paul).

If you are a high school student who is interested in volunteering and/or completing community service hours, St. Vincent de Paul could use your help both remotely and in person with tech support, research, food bank distribution, and conference support.
