SSVP Omaha's Choice Food Pantry

---

For many decades, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha has provided a Choice Food Pantry, located on the west end of our 2101 Leavenworth Street facility. Offering a wide selection of non-perishable items, fresh produce - including harvests from our adjacent SSVP Garden - along with frozen food, bread, dairy and proteins, volunteer "Companions" personally escort neighbors through the pantry, helping ensure every family leaves with the food they need.

Last year, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha’s Food Pantry Program (including pantries at a number of our SSVP parish conferences) provided $1,080,468 worth of groceries to 36,148 neighbors in need. And, not long ago, our main Food Pantry served 177 families in a single morning – a record for the Society and a 35% increase over the previous year.
