Birthday Club

Donate in honor of your love one on their birthday.  Feeding the homeless in honor of that special person is a great way to show your love.  Giving back to others is a beautiful gift and reminds every one of their kindness.   We will send a complimentary birthday card on your behalf notifying them of this special honor.  This program is under development and more details are coming soon.

Restaurant / Food Business Donations

• Do you own a restaurant or any food business and have food leftover? You can help feed the homeless by partnering with St Vinnys Bistro.  Our chef is a master at incorporating leftover food into hot nutritious daily meals.
• We have trained qualified drivers that pick-up food five days a week.  “If’ you have an approved food donation, you can get delivery directions HERE.
• We send out a refrigerated van five days during the week to pick up food donations.  Special pickups can be scheduled.  Our driver brings the food back to our kitchen.  At the close of each month, we email you a receipt for your charitable donation.
• Safety of our food is very important to us. We only accept food from licensed food business, such as restaurants, caterers, distributors, hotels, etc.  These donors must agree to follow our guidelines.  Please contact us: [email protected]
• Our pickup drivers and kitchen staff are trained in safe food handling from in-kind donors.  All food that does not meet our standards is rejected.
• Food Donors are Protected from Liability!
  • Donate your leftovers in confidence without worry of litigation. The federal government passed legislation in 1996 to protect and encourage food donations to non-profit like St Vinnys Bistro.
  • Federal Law: The “Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act” of 1996 shields food donors from civil and criminal liability, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
  • Texas Law: On June 10, 1981 the Texas State Legislature passed legislation, commonly referred to as the “Good Faith Donor Act” to address liability for damages resulting from the condition of donated items. The state law reads as follows:
    • A person who donates apparently wholesome food to a nonprofit organization for distribution to the needy is not subject to civil or criminal liability that arises from the condition of the food, unless an injury or death results from an act or omission of the person that constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
