Sterling/Rock Falls
We are happy to announce that March completed our first month in the commodities program.
Over 170 families benefited from this additional food supply.
The value of March’s commodities was an additional $79 per family in groceries above the ‘regular’ items families receive.
We are so blessed to be able to help our neighbors with the beneficial program.
Let BWW cook for you today! Get a meal and help us out!
On Sunday, March 3rd at 2:30PM, EWTN will rebroadcast the SVdP movie “ Our Faith In Action”.

St. Vincent de Paul pantry has recently adopted a new inclement weather policy. Our new policy is to be closed when the schools in Sterling/Rock Falls are closed.
Thank you for your understanding as this is a safety concern for all involved.
Check back here when in doubt about weather related closings.

We hope it has made a difference in the lives of those we helped. We are very blessed to be able to help others through the generosity of the Sterling/Rock Falls communities.
The pantry is closed today through Thursday, due to record breaking forecasted wind chills.
We will let you know Friday’s schedule as we get closer.
Please use extreme caution if venturing out – especially with children and elderly folks.
God bless you!

Winter storms are one way God asks us to pause and marvel at the beauty of nature.
