Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at Saint Patrick

The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at Saint Patrick, located at 708 W. Main Street in Urbana, Illinois, is a volunteer-operated food distribution program serving households experiencing food insecurity in Champaign County. The pantry provides quality food items to help families meet their basic nutritional needs and is open Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m., with guests able to visit once per week. Founded through the vision of Sophia Zeigler, a dedicated parishioner who began in 1963 by preparing meals for the homeless and eventually established the food pantry at Saint Patrick, the program continues her legacy of community service and compassion for those in need.
