Each year, during the Lenten season, our parish has collected food to help keep the shelves of the Grove City Food Pantry filled. The collection has been designated as “Feed the Poor.” Paper bags with a list of needed items attached, are available in the Gathering Space. The food collection will end Palm Sunday, April 2.

The following items are needed by the pantry at this time.

• 1 Hamburger Helper
• 2 Tuna Helper
• 1 Can Tuna
• 1 Scalloped Potato
• 1 Corn Muffin Mix
• 1 Peanut Butter
• 1 Jelly
• 1 Deodorant
• 1 Shampoo or Conditioner
• 1 Dish Soap

You may fill as many bags as you wish, or you may purchase only a portion of the items on the list. All donations are appreciated. You may return the filed bags to the Parish Life Center for pick up by food pantry personnel. 

If you would rather make a monetary donation, you may write a check payable to the Grove City Pantry/Emergency Fund and place it in an envelope marked “Grove City Food Pantry” and put it in the collection baskets or send it to the parish office. In many instances, the pantry can purchase items at reduced prices so monetary donations are quite beneficial.

We hope that our parish families will make this a Lenten project. Let us also continue to pray for those who receive these donations.
