Food Pantry

There are many families in our local community in need of food.  Would you/your family consider donating a bag of food for the needy in our local community as a monthly ministry?  We deliver groceries monthly to Bainbridge Community Ministry and the community in Waverly. Bainbridge operates a food pantry in south Richmond across from Sacred Heart Church.

You can leave filled grocery bags near the Food Pantry closet just outside of the Chapel in the Commons.

Please contact Mary Kelley at 864-4707 if you would like to assist in this important ministry or click here to print a form to return to the Parish Life Desk or drop in the weekly collection basket during Liturgy.
