Over the past several decades, St. Vincent de Paul’s Dining Facility has developed collaborative partnerships. Through these collaborations, Free Meal is able to offer many additional outreach services besides their free luncheon service, including shower facilities, personal mail distribution, hygiene kits, clothing, footwear, winter wear, ponchos, blankets, primary healthcare, housing assistance, personal IDs, and morning coffee.
