Mission Statement: \u00a0Providing emergency food to people in need\u00a0in our community and surrounding area<\/p>\n
The Boulevard Place Food Pantry is a work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Indianapolis and is located at the intersection of 42nd Street and Boulevard Place (4202 Boulevard Pl., Indianapolis, IN 46208).<\/p>\n
Originally founded in a church basement at St. Thomas in 1982, it provides emergency food for those in need.<\/p>\n
A family representative may come once a week to receive between 17 or 25 items (depending on family size) of food or supplies (such as soap, personal items,\u00a0 and diapers).<\/p>\n
Recipients are offered a choice of items, except on the Wednesday drive-up when they receive a pre-packed order.<\/p>\n
The pantry is open:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon (drive up only)<\/li>\n
- Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (inside shopping)<\/li>\n
- Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon (inside shopping)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Volunteers in this ministry check in clients, fill orders, stock shelves, pack and sort food, and help clean the pantry, during different \u201coff\u201d days. We need people who can give 4-20 hours per month.<\/p>\n
For more information, email the volunteer coordinator Amy at ataylor@svdpindy.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the most recently completed fiscal year (2025-26) we set records both for households served (21,576) and pounds of food handled (838,045).<\/p>\n
Many sources together supply the pantry\u2019s annual food total.<\/p>\n
First and foremost, however, the five supporting parishes contributed 79,284 pounds of food in FY 2026, an increase of about 27% over the previous fiscal year. Immaculate Heart of Mary provided 23,574 pounds; Christ the King, 18,969; St. Luke the Evangelist, 18,873; St. Thomas Aquinas, 14,289; and St. Joan of Arc, 3,579.<\/p>\n
Beyond donating your time and talent you can find donation locations in the STA Narthex for dropoff of no perishables. Those collections show how individual family\u2019s donations add up over a year and why every pound is precious beyond measure. (Sometimes folks give us surplus items from their kitchen, buy on-sale bulk from a Costco, or follow a seasonal theme or campaign).<\/p>\n
