FOOD RECLAMATION

Every day, truckloads of food and household items arrive at St. Vincent de Paul, donated by grocery stores and community food drives. Items are cleaned, sorted and measured against strict quality control standards before they are sent to our kitchen or sorted for food boxes that provided to hungry families.

Each year, about 10 million pounds of food are processed in St. Vincent de Paul’s Reclamation Center.  Over 500,000 food boxes are delivered through home visits and other charitable organizations.
