“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is GOD’S gift, that’s why we call it the present.

The SVdP Food Pantry was greatly blessed with a very generous truckload of food donated by the Rock Falls Optimists as shown in the photos. This donation exhibits the care and compassion the Rock Falls Optimists express towards their neighbors in need during a time when families are struggling with putting food on the table. With the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday, their donation will be a true blessing to so many families. God Bless you for choosing to make a difference in the lives of your neighbors in need. We are so thankful.

Sometimes all we can do is leave it in GOD”S hands and wait. He won’t fail you.

Newman Central Catholic High School students show their support of St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry by delivering 67 boxes of canned goods from their annual food drive. The students from Newman have been doing their part in helping our neighbors in need and making a difference in their community by holding an annual food drive for several years. A big THANK YOU to the students of Newman Central Catholic High School for their selfless efforts and hard work in stepping up to help keep the shelves stocked at the SVdP pantry for our neighbors in need.

Keep trusting GOD, he is always in control even when your circumstances may seem out of control.
