About St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry
Location:
Food Pantry and Service Center, 2033 Fish Hatchery Road, Madison, WI 53713, US
Mission Statement
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is committed to "helping our neighbors in need" in Dane County effectively, efficiently and compassionately - and without regard for religion, race, or ethnic background - through our services and care provided to those in our community who are needy, suffering or forgotten.
Description
Services include assistance through our food pantry - Dane County's busiest - and help with prescriptions, utilities, furniture, clothing and housing. The Society operates seven thrift stores that offer clothes, furniture, and household items at reasonable prices. Proceeds from sales of these donated goods help fund the charitable work of the Society, making St. Vincent de Paul one of the most cost-effective providers of services to Dane County's low-income population. On the basis of vouchers issued at our Service Center, our stores also do a great deal of direct charity through distribution of furniture, bedding, clothing and household necessities.
