We ask all of our supporters to be mindful that hunger is not seasonal. As we move past the Christmas Holidays, and into winter proper, it can be very challenging for families to get the food they need. Please consider making a regular donation at this time of year. Your contributions, of any size, make a huge difference in our community!

St. Patrick’s Food Pantry is proud to have received the 2025 ‘Great Innovator’ award from the Rhode Island Community Food Bank in recognition of the innovations at our Food Pantry and its comprehensive work in meeting the needs of not only the parish community, but also those of the general population of Burrillville. Congratulations to all of the fine folks, especially Gary and Lynn Rousseau, who work tirelessly to make this parish ministry possible.

We welcome new volunteers to assist with our Food Pantry openings. See the attached calendar for dates and times. Confirmation students and other teens can fulfill service hour requirements by volunteering at the Food Pantry.
