Food Services:
We serve many in our community who are struggling financially during these unprecedented times. Many are at an increased risk but do not have the means to get the essentials they need. We have partnered with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul food pantry who gives us grocery bags that we deliver to the low-income high-risk population. We have also coordinated food drives and toiletry drives to serve the growing need for our delivery service.
