Our food pantry provides dry non-perishable food, personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies to those in need on a monthly basis. If possible, supermarket gift cards are also given to clients. We encourage our clients to think of the pantry as supplementing their monthly income, thus allowing them to put funds toward medical expenses, rent or utility payments. We offer limited home delivery of monthly pantry items to those who fit the criteria, are home bound and live within the Parish boundaries.
Hours of Operation: The Pantry is open to assist clients and accept donations on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 am to 1 pm.
We ask that donations be left only in the bins in the entrance of the Church, at Parish Outreach or the Rectory. Please do not leave donations in the school building.
