St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen

Virtual February Food Drive:

Dear friends,

The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a virtual food drive throughout February to help the St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen fulfill its mission of feeding our hungry sisters and brothers in Waterbury. The need is more significant than ever because of food inflation’s disproportionate impact on the poor. So, our goal is to raise at least $3000.

Instead of actual foodstuffs, we are asking for donations of grocery store gift cards to purchase critical food needs arising from an exceptional demand for help over the holiday season. Grocery store gift cards provide St. Vincent DePaul the flexibility to purchase those items most in need.

Throughout February, the Knights will place a special blue collection box for grocery store gift cards, one in St John of The Cross and one in Sacred Heart. Please be as generous as you can.

Gratefully,

The Knights of Columbus
