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.
