Food Pantry Needs:

We will gratefully accept donations of the items listed below through the end of 2025.

Guests are invited to select from these items for their Thanksgiving meal: turkey, Cornish game hens, potatoes, fresh and instant; yams; bread crumbs for stuffing; chicken broth; green beans;  mushroom soup; cranberry sauce; gravy mix; pumpkin puree;  pie crusts; chocolate 

Offerings for Christmas are the same  as Thanksgiving, with addition of hams, Christmas cookies, and cherry pie filling.

Food Pantry

The St. Patrick’s Food Pantry provides food boxes to 40 or 50 families every Thursday and Friday from 10:00 am to noon. Clients also receive fresh and frozen foods contributed by area grocery stores. 

The Food Pantry is funded through donations, fund raising projects, and grants. There are a number of volunteer roles associated with running the Food Pantry: purchasing food, collecting donations from local grocery stores, packaging the boxes each week, and staffing the Food Pantry. Two or three people are scheduled for each shift.

To learn more about the St. Patrick’s food pantry, please contact Wendy McAllister for staffing the Food Pantry on Thursdays and Fridays or Wes Arrighetti for collecting donations.

Loaves and Fishes has provided a weekly nutritious hot meal, free of charge to anyone who comes seeking nourishment and fellowship. While Loaves and Fishes is not currently operating, St. Patrick’s is delighted to prepare and serve an annual community Thanksgiving meal. Contact Nancy Crouse for more information.
