Baby food distribution

The St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. John XXIII Parish, 307 Pine St., distributes free baby food and cereal on the third Saturday of each month by appointment. The distribution continues to be done as a curbside pickup outside the church hall due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

This ministry is for families with babies living within the Tamaqua Area School District or belonging to the parish.

Stage 1 and 2 baby food and cereal will be provided each month for babies from birth to 1 year. The distribution is from 9-11 a.m. each month, and registration is required by the Wednesday prior to distribution.
