The first Sunday of each month St Paul’s parish has a non-perishable food collection which supports local food pantries. The contributions from the poor box on the first weekend of the month funds identified needs in the local community.
 This committee encourages parishioners to prepare and help serve a monthly meal at Beans & Bread, a soup kitchen in Baltimore.
Each year food baskets are given to families in the local area.
Hundreds of Christmas gifts are donated by our parish and distributed by the St Vincent dePau  l Committee. Gifts are provided to children’s’ homes, addict recovery centers, transitional homes for men and women, schools and families, hospitals,and more.
Each year school supplies, donated by our parishioners are collected, sorted and donated to a number of inner city schools.
 There is a St Vincent dePaul clothing bin at St Paul's Church. It is the blue box, near the end of the parking lot.
