A food pantry requires many volunteers, each of whom helps in one aspect of the pantry. Constant monitoring of inventory, as well as acquisition of needed items, is an ongoing task. The larger the number of volunteers, the easier everyone’s job becomes.
Denise Breyley coordinates all aspects of volunteer involvement in the Helping Hands food pantry. You may email her at helpinghands at stpatrick.cc; you may also leave a voicemail at 440.647.4375 x53
The Helping Hands food pantry can use both financial as well as food donations. The following is a list of staple food items that are regularly distributed by the food pantry (click to enlarge):

Helping Hands is open:
