About St. Vincent de Paul Parish Services
The Elizabeth Ann Seton Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen began in 1980 in a small room in the parish center. Working poor families, parents of young children, and the elderly are among those who need assistance to help make ends meet.
During the year, parishioner volunteers serve in the soup kitchen six days per week, and average 100 meals per day. In the course of the year, we serve over 30,000 sandwiches, about 1,000 special holiday meals, and 45,000 cups of coffee. In addition to parishioners, DePaul faculty, staff, and students volunteer on what has come to be known as DePaul Mondays. The number of households the Elizabeth Ann Seton Food Pantry serves on a monthly basis is over 50 households, or 75 people. The food pantry also provides groceries to DePaul University students who are food insecure.
