As you all know, St. Marcelline closed in March, but St. Vincent de Paul did not! As a result of your generosity, we have been offering Saturday only, no-contact, pre-packed food boxes to residents of Schaumburg Township. Each box is identical. Additionally, when pizzas, bread or frozen products are available, they are included in the delivery. Drivers are instructed to stay in their cars and show their IDs against the closed driver’s window, and then open the trunk or rear hatch. The boxes are put in the trunk space and the family then drives away. We are not handling special requests but can add to the boxes if the family is larger. Since we do not generally have perishables, we include a gift card, so that they may purchase other necessities not provided.
Our goal thru this pandemic was and continues to be serving those in need, while keeping all involved safe from the virus. To do this, we set up procedures for cleaning and sanitizing pantry work surfaces and to minimize the chances of spreading the contagion. We currently see evidence in some regions that a quick return to old normal will start an increase of COVID-19. For this reason, I believe we must continue the no-contact drive thru operations at least through the Fall.
Until we are able to fully open, I ask for your prayers, understanding and continued support for the limited work we are able to do. We thank you sincerely for your generosity. We could not serve those in need without your continued financial support and prayers. I ask also that you keep in your prayers the vulnerable we serve.
May God bless you and your families. And stay safe!
Deacon Tom LaMantia
