Deacon’s Pantry Food Bank (St. Jude)
The Deacon’s Pantry Food Bank was started over twenty-five years ago in response to the identified need for an emergency supply of food within the immediate community of our parish. It was started as an outreach program by a small group in the congregation. It has continued and grown since then as families in need from the community have grown as the result of economic challenges.
Saint Jude food bank is once again accepting household items to provide to their clients!
Examples of items they are accepting:
clothing
toys
kitchen items: cutlery, pots, pans, dishes, etc.
home/kitchen small appliances: toasters, kettles, microwave, coffee makers, fans, etc.
children books
Donation bins are outside the Inner Court. If you’re wondering whether or not an item will be accepted, please ask Pastor Sam (sam.mo@etcbc.org).
