Christmas Market

Dear Parishioners,

Our Food Pantry Christmas Market provides food items for our clients Christmas meals. Through your monetary donations we purchase eggs, breakfast sausage, pancake mix, syrup, ham and fresh vegetables. Along with the purchased items we offer the opportunity to “shop” free of charge from our tables of donated foods and other items. Please join our food pantry in celebrating the Christmas season by helping those in our community who face food insecurities daily.
