Food Pantry

The St. Patrick’s Food Pantry provides food for 40 -50 households every Thursday and Friday from 10:00 am to noon. Our guests receive fresh and frozen foods, and are able to select items they can use from a variety of options.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.

Here are a few ideas for you to share your gifts with the food pantry:

• Volunteer to be a food distributor, greeter, or fellowship facilitator for our guests during food pantry giveaway days.

• Volunteer to help our purchasers replenish our inventory of perishable foods

• Donations are always appreciated. You may donate in the following ways:

• Your financial gifts will allow our food purchasers to buy from various partners that offer food access.

• Your egg cartons are gratefully received for portioning eggs to our guests.

• Personal care items (unopened) that you have collected from hotels on your many trips can be donated to the food pantry. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer in any capacity, please contact Wendy McAllister at wendy@stpatrickspagosa.org
