The weeks and months following the Christmas season can be the most difficult for our food pantry to meet the needs of our neighbors. If you are a new donor this holiday season, we hope you will consider giving to the pantry throughout the year. And we thank you warmly if you are one of our regular supporters!
St. Patrick’s Church Food Pantry is located in the building behind the rectory. We gladly accept non-perishable food items, cash and gift card donations, gas cards, and pet food throughout the year.
We always need the following items:
| Foods: | |
| Tinned tuna and chicken | Macaroni and Cheese |
| Peanut Butter | Jelly |
| Cans of Beans (red kidney, black, navy, pinto) | Canned vegetables |
| Spaghetti or other pasta. | Spaghetti Sauce |

Hunger is not seasonal. Please consider making a regular donation to help keep our pantry shelves well stocked throughout the year, not just during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
No time to shop? We can accept monetary donations including gift cards.
May God Bless you for your generosity to your neighbors!
