It takes a village to raise a child-and to build up community. It takes a team of people time, effort, and care but it gets done and done well. This photo represents only a small portion of the hard working volunteers we have each month to support the local neighbors in need. Many thanks to all who helped!

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." (Mt. 25)

Born this day in 1581, St. Vincent de Paul was founder of the Congregation of the Mission, Daughters of Charity, Confraternities of Charity, and Ladies of Charity. A man of deep faith, keen intellect, and enormous creativity, he has become known as the “The Apostle of Charity” and “Father of the Poor.” His contributions to the training of priests and organizing parish missions and other services for the poor shaped the Church’s role in the modern world.

Today was delivery and prep day for our next distribution. It went well thanks to a great group of volunteers! Give us a hand tomorrow so our neighbors can enjoy some great food including fresh tomatoes, frozen chicken, and more.

Lord Jesus help me to behave gently,
Listening with patience,
Speaking with kindness,
Offering a smile to strangers,
Regardless how I may feel.
Help me to act gently
So I become truly gentle.
Amen

No rain, storm, or even a total eclipse will stop our volunteers from working hard to ensure an assortment of nutritious food to be ready for our next distribution day. Until then enjoy the day whatever it may bring.
