St. Therese Little Flower Catholic Church
St. Therese Little Flower Catholic Church
St. Therese Little Flower Parish is a welcoming Catholic community in Cincinnati's West Price Hill neighborhood. They proudly call themselves "a small parish with a big heart." Through the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the parish runs a food pantry that helps neighbors in need with food, household essentials, and more — every single Tuesday.
Who Can Visit?
The food pantry serves residents who live within the Little Flower Parish boundaries. You must show up in person during pantry hours — no appointment is needed.
How to Register?
You do not need to pre-register, but you will need to bring documents when you arrive. See the Items Needed for Registration section below for what to bring.
Items Needed for Registration

How to Pick Up
The food pantry is located in the basement of the rectory. You can access it through the garage doors on Little Flower Ave. — not through the main church entrance.
Pantry hours (every Tuesday):
- 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Just bring your documents and arrive during one of the two time windows.
Additional Support
If you need help with rent or utilities, the pantry can point you to additional resources:
Ways to Give
During the Advent season (the weeks before Christmas), the parish places Christmas Sharing Wreaths near the church doors. Each wreath has gift tags listing specific needs — things like clothing, toys, or food. Parishioners and visitors can pick a tag and donate that item to help a family in need.
How to Join the Team?
The St. Vincent de Paul Society welcomes parishioners who want to volunteer. Meetings are held every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the rectory basement, and they are open to all parishioners. No application is required — just show up!
