Fresh, healthy, and made with care! Joseph is busy in the kitchen preparing a fresh salad for our patrons. Every meal served at St. Vincent de Paul Place is made possible by dedicated volunteers like Joseph, who give their time and talents to help nourish our community.

A fresh salad may seem like a simple thing, but it is one more way we show our guests that they are valued and cared for. Thank you, Joseph, for helping make each meal a little brighter and a little healthier.
