ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
St. Francis of Assisi Conference, Angola, Indiana

Bags of Loving Comfort
St. Vincent de Paul maintains a blessing box in the front parking lot of St. Anthony Church. We invite anyone who wants to share with their neighbors in need to put shelf stable grocery items in this box.
If you would like to take this project a step further, consider making a meal bag to put in the box. Above is a link to a document with all sorts of ideas for creating these meals. They are designed so that the ingredients will fit into a 2 gallon zip lock bag and there is a recipe/meal sheet to leave in the bag for the recipient to follow. Hopefully these meals create joy for everyone involved and link us all together in God's love. Thank You!
