LENTEN COLLECTION OF FOOD FOR THE POOR

ST. JAMES’ ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

FOOD PANTRY

Our parish maintains a food pantry and delivers bags of food to our needy parishioners on a regular schedule.

We invite our parishioners to include their Lenten sacrificial giving in their weekly shopping. The St. Vincent de Paul Society suggests that parishioners donate certain food items each week during Lent. This will allow our needy families to have adequate bags of food delivered to them.

Please deposit your food offerings in the gathering area of the church.

A list of these food items will be included in this bulletin:

Sunday, March 16

canned meat (spam) and jam/jelly

Sunday, March 23
