Our Food Pantry isn't operational at this time

----------------------------------------------------

What is the Parish Food Pantry?
Our Food Pantry is stocked with donations of non-perishable food items for those in need.

Where do we get the food from?
Donations come in throughout the year from  . . .

• You, our Parishioners (Project Loaves and Fishes)
• The US Postal Service Annual Food Drive
• Local Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops
• Various local Businesses

Parishioners who would like to donate non-perishable food items to our Parish Pantry, please bring them to Church on the Loaves and Fishes weekend. The donations can be placed in the blue bins.

Thank you as always for your generosity to your Parish family and neighbors in need.
