St. Vincent de Paul, Tucson, Christmas food drive

Join us in helping to put food on the table this Christmas for families that have been severely impacted by COVID-19. Because the Tucson metro area continues to be impacted by the Pandemic and experiencing a tremendous need for food especially around this Christmas Season we are asking for your help. 

St. Vincent de Paul and The Diocese of Tucson are partnering for a critical food drive to help meet the high demand for assistance. 
Nonperishable food items needed are listed below

Canned meat, fish, chicken (pop lid), Canned soups/stews (pop lid) Rice Sugar Flour Beans Breakfast Cereals Cooking oils Pancake mix Pancake syrup Peanut butter Jelly Instant oatmeal Canned vegetables Canned fruit Shelf-stable milk Powdered milk Macaroni & cheese Child-friendly snacks Individual fruit/pudding cups Individual crackers Dried fruit

Those receiving food donations will be using gloves and masks. Donors are asked to remain in their car and allow the volunteers to remove the donated items so that the risk of contact is minimal.

Those unable to purchase food or drop it off may make an on-line donation to St Vincent de Paul www.svdptucson.org.
