Our Valued Partners-St. Vincent de Paul Center / Nuestros Valiosos Socios-Centro San Vicente de Paúl.

In March, St. Vincent de Paul Center served 164 families, including 154 children and 361 adults. We welcomed 31 new families and made 11 deliveries. Our dedicated team of 36 volunteers contributed 264 hours of service. The St. Joseph food drive collected 1069.4lbs, and regular donations totaled 1135lbs, amounting to 2204lbs donated. Additionally, we purchased 3497lbs of supplies. While our March numbers were down 13% from February, we're proud to report a 13% increase from 2023 to 2024.
