St Vincent DePaul Church

The Mother Seton Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen serves 250 homeless men and women every week. We rely entirely on the compassion of friends like you to sustain our mission. All gifts to this campaign will be used to provide food and supplies.

Please give generously this Christmas season. Your kindness will sustain us throughout the year!

Thank you for the outpouring of generosity to our campaign. We have nearly doubled our goal thanks to your amazing love and support.

St. Vincent de Paul is a parish that collaborates with DePaul University but is a separate, self-sustaining entity. We rely on the generosity of our parishioners and friends to sustain our mission.

Hi Friends!

I’m raising money for a cause I care deeply about, the Elizabeth Ann Seton Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen in Lincoln Park. I’ve volunteered at the soup kitchen for a little over two years and been able to see firsthand how valuable it is to those it serves. We're open 4 days per week, serving up to 100 hot meals each day and providing essentials like hygiene kits, hats, gloves, and winter coats to people in need from across the city.

I'm hoping to raise enough money to have a summer barbeque for our guests where each will receive a freshly cooked meal as well as a care package of essentials including shirts, socks, hygiene kits, etc. With just $1000 we can host this special event.

The pantry is fully dependent on private donors. A donation from you as small as $5 will go a long way towards serving more people by buying more fresh and nutritious food and essentials. On July 30 I have a goal to complete a 100 mile ultra-endurance mountain bike race on behalf of the soup kitchen and in support of this fundraiser. By then, I hope to reach my fundraising goal which will go directly to the food pantry and soup kitchen. 

Please help me support the important work the Seton Soup kitchen does. 100% of proceeds will go directly towards services for those in need. 

Thank you in advance for any support!
