FOOD PANTRY

Recognizing that public assistance, and even minimum wages, are not always enough to pay the bills and feed hungry families, MAN, Inc. created a food pantry through which it provides weekly access to non-perishable food items, as well as fresh bread and milk. In support of our neighbors, members of St. Andrew's donate large quantities of a variety such items each week, including items from all of the food groups. The collection is blessed at the Sunday service. Items are then bagged, and picked up by MAN, Inc. staff each week to be distributed by the pantry to neighborhood families. The Church and MAN, Inc. meet to update the list of requested items, and ensure that the food is meeting the tastes and nutritional needs of recipients and their children.
