Donations Needed for Our Food Pantry
/
St. Mother Teresa said, “God loves the world through you and me.”
Our food pantry is a channel for God to love the world. Thanks to you, the parishioners of St. Thomas, many hungry souls have been fed both within our parish and outside our parish. We understand that the price of food has risen dramatically, but still, the hungry remain with us. We ask you to please continue donating non-perishable food items to our food pantry, whatever you can afford.
You can see the best suitable items listed in our previous post here and below. Supermarket gift cards are also welcome. Thank you and God bless you!
Donated food should be left inside the "handicap accessible” doorway at the back south side of the Church. Be careful not to place bags or boxes in the path of foot traffic.
Only non-perishable food items are suitable for our Food Pantry (i.e., peanut butter, jelly, cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix, syrup, coffee, tea bags, canned tuna, boxed macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables, canned fruit, canned fruit juice, canned soups, canned stews, pasta sauce, pasta, bagged rice, canned or bagged beans, powdered potatoes, powdered milk, stuffing mix, cake mix, and baby food)
Supermarket Gift Cards are gladly accepted. Please drop them off at the parish center. Please contact the parish center if you wish to donate fresh/frozen beef or poultry (only current sell-by date).
LET US PRAY
O God, thank you for the abundance of life, relationships, health, comfort, and wealth you have provided. Thank you that even in times of need, despair, and brokenness, you are there. And, Lord, guide us, so we can be your hands and feet, pursuing justice for the poor and upholding the cause of the needy. Amen.
Peace!
Your friend in Christ,
Deacon Brian
