St. Vincent’s Food Pantry is where families go when they simply need to put food on the table.
Established in 1995, St. Vincent’s Food Pantry is the busiest food distribution pantry in Northern Nevada. In 2009, St. Vincent’s Food Pantry provided food to approximately 9,000 people per month, and over the last months of 2010, we provided food to approximately 25,000 people each month. Our clients are primarily working-class families who own or rent a home or apartment, but who just do not have enough income to cover all of their expenses. The majority of the foodstuffs we give to our clients are staples and raw ingredients, such as bags of pasta, rice, and canned goods.
St. Vincent’s Food Pantry At A Glance
- 74.8% of all food distributed to those in need in Northern Nevada is distributed by St. Vincent’s Food Pantry.
- In 2010, we distributed 4 million pounds of food free of charge to the Reno/Sparks/Tahoe community.
- To maximize our food-buying ability, our program operates with only two paid staff and 50 dedicated volunteers.
St. Vincent’s Food Pantry provide two separate programs where we give food to those in need:
- Our Monthly Program provides a substantial amount of food once a month per family based on family size. (i.e., a family of four receives about twice the amount of food that a family of 2 receives.)
- Our Daily Program provides a much smaller allocation of food, but it can be picked up daily to supplement the diets of those who might otherwise go without.
