St. Paul's Episcopal Food Pantry's mission is to provide emergency food for our clients in times of need.

The Pantry is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:00 AM until Noon. We are rarely closed even if the church offices are closed. The clients may visit twice each month. We are in constant need of volunteers as well as food, clothing, personal hygiene items, and even shoes and coats.

We are more than excited to receive donations large or small. An adult bag costs about $11.15 and a child's bag cost about $9.35. We ask our congregation to bring food or a check whenever they can. Also, anyone wishing to designate St. Paul's Episcopal Food Pantry on their United Way pledge can do so. This is a convenient way to consistently help feed the poor. The need for the services of the food pantry continues to grow as the working poor are increasingly squeezed. To volunteer, make a donation, or for more information, please contact Rich Ellison, golfwannabee@yahoo.com, or call the church office (816-913-2850).
