We give special thanks to the STM scouts for organizing a food drive benefiting the Food Pantry at STM through their participation in the Souper Bowl of Caring.  AND to all those who donated food and supported the Scouts for this event.  It was an enormous kick start to the Lenten Food Drive.  Over 700 canned food items and 640 non-canned food items were collected!  God bless the STM scouts in their partnership with SVdP to feed the hungry in our community.  Thank you!!!

Souper Bowl of Caring is a nationwide, grassroots movement utilizing Super Bowl weekend to mobilize youth to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities.

BECAUSE OF DONORS LIKE YOU, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Thomas More can serve many in our community.  The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted daily life for us all, but through the grace of God and your ongoing support, not even a pandemic can keep us from providing our life-changing services.  When you make a gift, you are reaching out a loving hand to a neighbor, a friend in need.  Thank you for your generous support of the work we do at STM’s SVdP conference.

We especially want to thank the following businesses in our community;

Moeller’s Bakery 
4201 Bellaire Blvd., Houston, TX  77025

New York Deli & Coffee Shop  
9700 Hillcroft St., Houston, TX 77096

Neighborhood Walmart
9700 Hillcroft St., Houston, TX 77096

Westbury Community Gardens

We would also like to thank St Thomas More Parish and School for supporting the SVdP food pantry through food drives, gifts, and monetary donations.

Please continue to patronize these establishments who partner with STM’s SVdP conference to serve families in our community.

Well done, STM! Your giving touches so many lives in our community….thank you!

Due to the pandemic, we are unable to accept toys and clothes for our Christmas giving drive.  With your help we would like to continue to support our neighborhood families by providing food, rent and utility assistance.  Many are still without employment or underemployed, facing eviction, without electricity and/or without food.  Please support the mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul through financial donations.  Checks payable to SVdP can be delivered to the rectory office or in the collection basket at any mass.  Thank you for sharing your blessings.

Special thanks to the 6th grade class of STM who collected and prepared hygiene gift bags for our friends in need, as their Christmas party event.
