Another successful food collection from the folks at the Greg Gannon Food Drive in Montgomery County. Special thanks to Brian Moore for driving me during the early hours of Saturday, December 4th and waiting for food to arrive. Volunteers off-loaded 151 bags of food and stocked food pantry shelves.  Volunteers included Julie Salviejo, Emily Hughes, Joann Lennon, Bill Finneran, Cindy Seibert, Stacy Hernandez, Claire Passero, Molly Simpson, Vince Pingatore, Brian Moore, and Evelyn Lawrence.

Christ recognizes our need for real food by giving himself to us in the Sacrament of the Eucharist as bread and wine. After being fed here first, St. Mary parishioners can in turn feed those who crave both his nourishment and practical care. Want to help? Download a list of needs HERE.

St. Mary opened the Good Shepherd Food Pantry in February 2017. Neighbors in need* are welcome to share in the staples and fresh foods, stored among our new shelves, industrial refrigerator, and freezer. The food pantry is open on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 9:30AM-11:30AM.
