St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was an American born saint. She was a wife, mother, educator, widow, nurse and foundress of the Sisters of Charity. During her life, she often had to depend on others to help her provide for her family and her fledgling community.
Today, senior citizens are often in need of a helping hand at a moment of shortfall. At times, the fixed income doesn’t quite meet the needs and the cupboard stands bare.
In 2005, the community outreach services of Light of Hearts Villa established the Seton Safety Net for seniors, a small food closet, to give our social worker the resources to meet such needs as they arise in our community.
Donations can be made by cash or by check to: Light of Hearts Villa, with “Seton Safety Net” on the memo line.
Address: 283 Union St. Bedford, OH 44146
Food donations can also be delivered to Light of Hearts Villa.
Accepting: Canned fruits, canned vegetables, cereals, canned soups, juices (no glass), macaroni and cheese, noodles, rice, peanut butter and jelly

As the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine celebrate 175 years of serving others, we’re honored to share stories from those whose lives have been touched by their mission.
