Vincent DePaul food pantries are suffering a short-age of peanut butter and jelly, due in part to a reduction food stamp (SNAP) benefits and increased food costs across the country. The SVDP St. Louis Area Council is asking all parish conferences to organize a drive to collect jars of PB&J at our Masses during the weekends of November 21 and November 28.
Donated items will be delivered to the SVDP Cool Valley warehouse for sorting and then made available to multiple SVDP pantries in need. Thank you for participating in these donations that will bring a smile to all during this Thanksgiving period.
A table and/or a box will be available for you to drop off your donation in the church vestibule. If you have questions, or would like to volunteer to help with sorting and delivery, please call Arthur Clyne at 314-406-4000.
