The St. Elizabeth Caring for Kids Ministry is a donation-based food pantry for local Elementary schools. The program was created for those who are on the free lunch program that may not have food when they are at school.
What We Do
Donated food is brought to four local Elementary schools monthly. Those in need may have complicated living situations and appreciate small snack sized items that can fit in their backpack and foods that are microwavable as they may not have the means to cook at home, and these meals are meant to be eaten at school.
How You Can Get Involved
Food donations can be placed in the Red Wagon in the Gathering Space any day. Food is picked up once a week and delivered at the beginning of the month. Monetary donations are also appreciated and accepted in the collection at Mass or on our online giving page.
Food Items Needed:
- Microwaveable Mac ‘n’ Cheese/Spaghetti/Soups
- Cereal
- Applesauce
- Granola/Cereal Bars
- Fruit Snacks
- Fruit Cups
- Tuna
- Crackers
- Individual snack bags Chips/Cookies/etc.
Food may be placed in the Red Wagon in the Gathering Space in the church on any day.
