Through the St. Patrick Center's Casserole Program, volunteers throughout the St. Louis metro area assist in providing hot meals to the homeless every day. With a different casserole assigned to each day of the month, organizations provide enough of "their" casserole to serve up to 200 people per day. The food is delivered to St. Patrick Center, where other volunteers heat and serve the food to the patrons.

"Our casserole" is chili, which is served once a month. Before Covid, our SSP volunteers prepared chili from scratch according to the recipe provided by St. Patrick Center. Since Covid, we have been asked to simply provide canned chili. With the number of participants at SSP, each person is asked to provide eight cans of chili three times per year.
