Details: The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Southwest Idaho District Council operates three Food Pantries. People need food for many reasons.

If any other crisis comes up, they do not have enough to buy the food they need. Then they come to pantries such as ours for help. Food is given to anyone who walks in and no one is turned away. When our Food Pantry volunteers note a frequent visitor to the Food Pantry it signals that perhaps there is a need for further assistance or resource information. Hours: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Wednesday 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon.
