PATHS | CASA ALEGRIA CHILDREN'S CENTER | AFFORDABLE HOUSING | VINCENT'S HEART

 

Vincent’s Heart opened in 2001 to serve as a food and supply pantry for the clients and residents on St. Vincent's campus. Assisted by the valuable support of volunteers, fresh food and produce is purchased weekly from the local food bank and is distributed in addition to donated items and other school and household necessities.

 

Vincent’s Heart regularly collects and distributes…

• New or gently used children’s and young women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories
• Toys and books for children birth to age 12
• Non-perishable food and beverages, canned goods, fresh produce (in small quantities)
• New household items such as pots and pans, dishes, flatware, sheets (twin size) and towels
• Cleaning and laundry supplies (unopened, non-toxic)
