Buy Food Packages for our Kitchen

Our chef has his favorite list of food items to provide nutritious meals.  It is important to have basic food staples in inventory to plan three meals each day.  These items are purchased from a reputable food distributor to insure a consistent daily food supply.

Church, Synagogue, Temple, Civic Volunteers

Bring your church, synagogue, temple, or any civic group to volunteer in our kitchen.  You can serve breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  This is a great way to see what happens at St Vinnys Bistro three times a day, 365 days per year.  When your group comes face to face with the guests in our kitchen, it becomes a first-hand experience of feeding San Antonio’s homeless.  Guests at our Bistro need your help and are thankful for your presence.  Serving others helps us realize how fortunate some are and how rewarding it is to give back.

      • 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.
