Located in St. Michael's Hall
Vincent's Vault is for the Xavier community who need the assistance of the food pantry. The purpose of this pantry is to help stamp out food insecurities. There is a growing need of current individuals experiencing periods throughout each month when they run out of food or lack basic personal items.
