. MISSION EMERGENCY

Mission Emergency
This committee was formed in early 1980 with Anita VanSlambrouck as chairperson, to provide an emergency source of food for needy people residing in our parish when they experience circumstances that leave them without adequate nourishment.

Each year, during the three holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), we offer needy families of our parish a special bag of groceries to provide them with a nice holiday meal.

Our pantry is open to all families living in St. Mary’s Parish on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 12 Noon.  Please park on the street and use the side entrance of the rectory.

. NEWS & NOTES

Our food pantry is experiencing a food shortage crisis!  We are helping over 15 families weekly with food supplies.  Because of this, our pantry shelves are always being depleted.  We ask that you make an effort to bring canned meals (spaghettio’s, etc), canned fruit, vegetables, soups, coffee, tea, peanut butter, jelly, macaroni & cheese, crackers, juice, cereal and canned meats as often as possible.  Thank you for your generosity to our local families.


Thank you for your continued support.

Your food donations, preferred on first Sundays, are always gratefully received and appreciated.

Because our space is small, we cannot stock a supermarket variety, so please use our donation guide:

  1. Give only fresh, packaged, basic types of food requiring no refrigeration.  Please check the expiration date before bringing items to the church!

  2. Place donation in double-bags (paper-in-paper or paper-in-plastic).
    Please, do NOT tie plastic handles.

  3. If possible, give "most needed" foods (sometimes listed on Sunday prior to first Sunday).
