St.Gregory the Great/St. Raphael Holy Angels Food pantry partnership
St. Gregory The Great is partnered with St. Raphael-Holy Angels and Our Lady of Sorrows-Saint Anthony Parishes to supply the St. Raphael-Holy Angels food pantry with much needed food and household items for families in need. The St. Raphael-Holy Angels food pantry has operated for many years and provides food for 100-200 families two times a month. Providing food (and other critical household items) to those who don’t have enough to eat or who lack financial resources is a concrete way to fulfill one of the corporal works of mercy, Give Food to the Hungry.
All checks and monetary donations donated for the SR/HA Food Pantry will be given to that Food Pantry. Mt. Carmel Guild will only receive checks when the donor specifies they be given to that organization.
The Food Pantry Committee provides food and drink and other essential household items to needy individuals and families by promoting donations of non-perishable items to be given to the St. Raphael/Holy Angels (SRHA) food pantry, Mt. Carmel Guild, for persons with an immediate need for food, for the Knights of Columbus Holiday food drives and to Catholic Charities and other organizations as approved by the Food Pantry CommitteeThank you for helping us show mercy to others by supporting our food donation efforts.
