Hunger is an ever present reality in parishes and communities. Local food pantries are experiencing an ever increasing demand for food.

All food items will be donated to the John S. Mulholland Family Foundation, which serves homeless and working poor individuals and families in St. Thomas More (Blessed Sacrament’s Sister Parish) St. Vincent de Paul, St. Luke and Holy Name Food Pantries in the Archdiocese.
