Society of St. Vincent de Paul at MQOM

"May our presence and care to those most in need reflect the gentleness, esteem and dignity we see reflected in the life and work of Jesus.”- St. Vincent De Paul

(Food Pantry at St. Peter's Parish Center)

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul at MQOM assists members of the Plymouth and neighboring communities in need. Our pantry services anywhere between 20-40 neighbors each week. Neighbors receive not only canned goods, but frozen meats and vegetables, cereals, packaged goods, and eggs and cheese. And our neighbors can choose what they want to provide a balance diet for their families for the week. We welcome any one from MQOM Parish Community who is need.
 

Give Financially.

All funds collected go directly to the families in need.  Cost of food has almost tripled from last year and sadly, more and more families are coming to the pantry in need of help each week.

Collection boxes for financial donations are located inside the church at exit doors both upstairs and our downstairs chapel.  Food items are also collected at the church and transferred to our office pantry. Financial donations may also be sent to the parish office. Please make checks payable to the "Society of St. Vincent de Paul." 

Donate Goods.

We welcome donations of food goods from the MQOM and surrounding communities. If you have a large donation, please let us know by emailing [email protected].
