St. Paul’s Food Pantry

Filed Under News, Social Ministry by Pastor Meredith

St. Paul’s is in the process of expanding the current food pantry to hold open food distribution hours and serve more of our community in Northwest DC. We will continue to encourage donations from the congregation but we are also beginning a partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank to meet the needs of more people in our area. At the moment we are looking for volunteers to staff the food pantry once or twice a month, probably on Saturdays. This is a great opportunity for families to get involved! Come check it out and learn more at the Social Ministry table at Rally Day on September 7. We’ll be passing out tasty desserts to all and signing up volunteers! If you would like to sign up now, please contact Evan Davis at emdaviwm@gmail.com.
