Sterling/Rock Falls
We are called to “see the suffering Christ” in the poor. Not to imagine Him, but to truly feel His presence and to know that He is there. As St. Vincent explained, we “are serving Jesus Christ in the person of the poor. Thank you for donating to St. Vincent de Paul Society and serving Jesus Christ by serving our neighbors in need.

When life gives you more than you can stand, kneel.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Letter Carrier’s Food Drive. Because of your donations, the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is better equipped to serve our neighbors in need. We also want to recognize our dedicated letter carriers, organizers, and those who transported the 800 pounds of food we received. We can’t fulfill our mission without you! We are so grateful!
We’re excited to share we received a $500 Spark Good local grant from our local Walmart Supercenter in Sterling. This grant will help with the purchase of frozen meat and other staple food items for our food pantry. We are here to serve our neighbors in need in the Whiteside County community. We are proud to spark good in our community!
“I don’t know if you can help me, but my hours were cutback at my job and I need help with my utility bills. I have a wife and three children and I want to provide for them but I need some help. I was told that you are a food pantry and also help financially, so that’s why I’m calling. Please call me back”, said a voice quivering with desperation. Thank you for donating to St. Vincent de Paul Society. Your generosity really does make a difference in someone’s life.
