Good to Know
<p><strong>St. Vincent de Paul is an international Catholic organization. The Artesia chapter has been in operation since 1984 when it was founded by Martha Shoemaker. Its original location was in a garage at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church where clothing was distributed to those in need. Volunteers recognized that a food pantry was a greater need. A decision was made to relocate St. Vincent to 603 S. Roselawn Avenue and rename it St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank which has been feeding hungry residents ever since.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong></strong><br></p>
