A Food Pantry is located at our Central Office, 6610 Biddulph Road. The pantry is supported by the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, donations of canned/boxed foods by individuals and the food pantry and meals programs sponsored by individual Conferences, and by monetary donations which are used to purchase food when necessary.

All SVDP Conferences at local parishes have been given food vouchers that they may use for parishioners and other needy individuals and families within their own parish boundaries. The Conference, after a confidential visitation with the "client" has the authority to issue a voucher to be redeemed at the Food Pantry. Since we do obtain food from the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, "clients" income must be within government guidelines. A client may not be using any other Food Pantry that also receives Government issued food items.

We also have individuals in the Central Office who can qualify families from areas that do not have a SVDP Conference.

A client is eligible to receive food once every month. The Pantry is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
