Very close to our hearts here, the St Mary Magdalene Food Pantry is run by a wonderful group of volunteers that can always use an extra pair of hands (or two!).
The SMM Food Pantry operates every Wednesday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am and is one of the few pantries in the area that provides a meal in addition to providing food supplies. Each week, about twenty parishioners are involved in interviewing and registering qualified clients, preparing meals in the kitchen, and retrieving, organizing, packaging and distributing food supplies to our clients.
The Food Pantry purchases food supplies from the East Texas Food Bank and typically serves between 40 to 80 families per week at a cost of $500 to $1000.
Consider donating your time or money to help with this ministry. You can contact the office or Karen/David Fenter.
