For I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you game me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me. (Matthew 25:35)
Listed below are just three of the many ways that Mary, Queen of Martyr's assists the Plymouth and Carver communities with ensuring that both individuals and families have enough to eat and that their health and well-being are not jeopardized due to lack of food.
St. Peter's Society of St. Vincent De Paul: The Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Peter’s assists members of the Plymouth community in need. Our Food Pantry is located at the St. Peter Parish offices and is now open every Friday from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Collection boxes for financial donations are located inside the church at exit doors both upstairs and our downstairs chapel. Food items are also collected at the church and transferred to our office pantry.
Financial donations may also be sent to the parish office. Please make checks payable to the Society of St. Vincent. All funds collected go directly to the families in need. Cost of food has almost tripled from last year and sadly, more and more familes are comint to the pantry in need of help each week.
We are currently in need of pasta sauce, hearty soups, cream soups, baked beans, chili, and cranberry juice. Donations may be dropped off at Saint Peter's Parish Center or at the Church.
A little about us---Our pantry services anywehere between 20-30 neighbors each week.
Neighbors receive not only canned goods, but meats, fish, dairy, froxen vegetables, eggs, and breads. And our neighbors can choose what they want to provide a balance diet for their familes for the week. We welcome any one from MQOM Parish Community who is need.
WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED AND WELCOME ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER AT THE SAINT VINCENT DEPAUL FOOD PANTRY.
