The Cash in the Plate for the month of August will be donated to Sacred Heart Food Pantry.

The Sacred Heart Food Pantry is the local Society of St. Vincent de Paul Conference in Middleboro Massachusetts, serving the towns of Middleboro, Lakeville, Rochester and Carver. The primary ministry of their conference is the operation and funding of the Sacred Heart Food Pantry in Middleboro.

​The SVdP Society offers financial support for those in need of assistance.  These supports are not available on an on-going basis for any client, but rather are intended to provide assistance during a period of urgency or crisis for the client.  Beyond food and financial assistance, counseling creates an awareness of other agencies that can assist and help get the tools needed to become more self-sufficient and overcome setbacks.
