Catholic fifth graders give 30,000 items to St. Vincent de Paul for people in need

More than 30,000 items of food, diapers, and baby wipes were recently collected by students at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in Noblesville.

Fifth graders coordinated the food drive and accompanied the two trucks carrying the food to the pantry Friday, Nov. 7. Through rain showers and blustery conditions, these young people eagerly unloaded the trucks and stacked items in the pantry for distribution to those in need during the pantry’s operation days.

St. Vincent de Paul, 1391 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville, provides food, clothing, furniture, and emergency budget relief to Hamilton County residents. Last year, St. Vincent de Paul provided food for 59,008 individuals through the Food Pantry, valued at $1,238,896.
