St. Vincent de Paul Conference & Food Pantry
St. Anthony
The St. Anthony conference of St. Vincent de Paul addresses the needs of the poor in our community including housing and utility assistance.
St. Helen
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is an international Catholic organization of laypersons who seek to grow in holiness by helping those who are suffering. No work of Christian charity is foreign to the Society. Vincentian helping can include any assistance that promotes human dignity and integrity. The Society is concerned not only with relieving the need, but also with addressing the situations that cause it. We serve persons in need regardless of creed, opinion, race, caste or origin. At St. Helen, our primary function is the provision of emergency relief such as food and help with housing and utility bills. Through the thrift stores operated by the Dayton SVDP District Council, we provide clothing and furniture. The work of the Society is confidential.

BOGG (Because of God’s Grace) Mobile Meals
IC partners with BOGG. BOGG Ministries is a non-profit organization that provides food, clothing, and other essentials to those in need. Their primary ministry is the Mobile Meals program. The Mobile Meals program comes to IC’s school playground on the third Wednesday of each month. It provides, for example, a family of three with 3 meals a day for 3-5 days. IC sponsors the Mobile Meals program at our location by using the donation from the monthly IC Food pantry envelopes.
Immaculate Conception School Blessing Bag Program
The ICS Blessing Bag program provides assistance to students who need supplemental nutrition during the weekends. Each year, parents have the option to sign their student up to participate in the program. Blessing Bags are given each weekend throughout the school year. Each bag contains breakfast, fruit, lunch, & a snack for the weekend.
Immaculate Conception Food Pantry
The food pantry provides grocery boxes for registered members of the parish and IC school families. IC Food Pantry will work with the family advocate at IC School to help families. As this ministry is more targeted, the Food Pantry will have a curated list of food items for distribution and will communicate the greatest needs with the wider church community through the weekly Bulletin. Please see below for a standard stock list of donatable items or see the bulletin for our items of greatest need.
The Food Pantry’s Grocery Boxes typically includes:
