Thanksgiving Food Program

Providing food boxes to families at Thanksgiving is a yearly tradition. Approximately 420 boxes are distributed every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving to families living in the Vancouver and Evergreen school districts.

In 2022, for the first time, we accepted registrations online for about half of the 400 complete turkey meals we distributed. This made participation possible for those who are unable to register during office hours.

A Thanksgiving message from a grateful family

November 2022

I came by yesterday to pick up a Thanksgiving box. I can't tell you how grateful my family and I are. If not for the ample box that covered ALL our Thanksgiving needs, then for how sweet and kind everyone was during pick up. It's difficult to admit when you need help. Not one person at yesterday's pick up made me feel like I was a burden or made me feel guilty for requesting help. God bless and thank you again!

And another
note of thanks

November 2022

I just wanted to thank you for allowing my son and I to come through your food pantry and receive a Thanksgiving box. I am truly in debt to your kindness. This year has been tough due to unforeseen hardship but I am grateful that St. Vincent dePaul was there to feed myself and my son this Thanksgiving holiday. God bless you for being there in our time of need.
