serving those in need

Help stock our Food Panty -

Bring food to Mass on November 15-16

Did you know that our parish distributes groceries to around 80 families every week? And, 80% of the food we distribute comes  from Catholic Charities and the San Diego Food Bank, both of which have been impacted by federal funding cuts. We warmly invite you to assist us in maintaining our food pantry supplies!  Food Pantry items most needed at this time are: canned chicken, canned tuna, canned soup, peanut butter, pasta and pasta sauce.

However other items such as the list below can be donated:

· Cans—beans (green, black, navy, refried, garbanzo), vegetables (corn, peas, carrots), tomatoes (pasta sauce, paste, diced), protein (tuna, chicken, sardines, oysters, Vienna sausage, Spam), soup, fruit (cocktail, peaches, pears, applesauce)

· Dry Goods—cereal, oatmeal, pasta, protein/cereal bars, beans, rice, crackers, cookies, peanut butter, jelly, honey, syrup, cooking oil

· Beverages—condensed milk, juice, soy milk, oat milk, instant coffee, tea, baby formula

· Hygiene Products—shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothbrush/toothpaste/floss, lotion, sunscreen, diapers, feminine products

· Perishable Items  can be accepted but coordination is necessary—fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, bread, meat, butter/margarine, milk, eggs

You may bring items to the Parish Office, Monday–Friday, 8 am–4:30 pm. If you would like to make a designated financial gift to the Food Pantry, click the button below.

I want to help - all are welcome

Did you know our Knights of Columbus took over running this Food Pantry, in collaboration with Catholic Charities, during the pandemic in June, 2020 and since that time have helped over 2,600 families and 8,000 people by providing 25,000 meals. 

But all are welcome to help us pack the food, deliver the food, or distribute the food on Tuesdays from 8:30-10:30 am. To help or learn more contact John or visit our local Knights webpage.
