Who We Are
Many families in the Treasure Valley face food insecurity, which is the lack of reliable access to enough nutritious food to live healthy, active lives. According to a 2023 report, 129,070 adults (13%) and 40,170 children (17%) in SW Idaho are currently experiencing food insecurity.
At the St. Vincent de Paul food pantries, we make it our goal to address this basic human need with empathy and personal attention.
What We Do
Our food pantries are located in densely populated regions of the Treasure Valley, including Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell. Our services are tailored to benefit low-income families, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and refugee communities in the Treasure Valley.
In 2023, St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantries witnessed a 44.7% surge in Food Pantry Visits compared to 2022. The USDA reported a 5.8% increase on food-at-home prices in 2023 compared to 2022. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food at home rose by an additional 0.7% from December 2023 to January 2024. This upward trend underscores the urgent need for additional resources to meet the escalating demand within our community.
