FOOD PANTRY URGENT REQUEST
THANK YOU for answering our call to help with our food pantry, which is still open in Fr. Ray Hall on Wednesdays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and serving more people than ever due to the current crisis. The following letter from Fr. Tim shared on Palm Sunday highlights the background and explains the need for financial donations and volunteers.  We have been so heartened at the large numbers of you that have stepped forward to offer your help. You can learn more about your incredible efforts in this Washington Post story and local ABC news segment.  As the ABC reporter says, “This is what hope looks like in a crisis.” You are that hope and we are so grateful.  It is only with your help and generosity that we can continue to provide food to our sisters and brothers during this crisis.  We are still in need of your help in the following ways: 

1. Monetary Donations: Monetary donations of any amount are appreciated. Just $16 can help support a family for one entire week; $64 supports a family for an entire month! You may contribute by visiting this page. Donations can also be dropped off (in a safe way) during office hours or mailed by check to the parish.
 
2. Volunteers: Thank you very much for volunteering to help the food pantry.  Currently we have enough volunteers, but if this changes, we will update you. ​

3. Food:  We especially need donations of the following: bags of rice, any size (bigger ones will be split into  1 lb. bags),  1 lb. bags of dry beans or cans of beans (prefer black, pinto or small red beans), boxes of pasta, 24 oz. plastic jars or cans of pasta sauce, macaroni & cheese, low-sugar cereals,  16 oz. cans of corn or green vegetables, canned fruit, canned tuna in water or oil, 48 oz. bottles of oil, and bags of masa harina for tortillas (not cornmeal). There will be bins outside at the back of Fr. Ray Hall at the following times: Monday-Friday 10am-1pm, Saturday 4-6pm & Sunday 11:30am-1:30pm.  Please drop off food in the bins during these times.  The bins will be under the overhead near the back door.  Note the Sunday hours are new hours, are effective June 14th to accommodate the volunteer drop offs of produce from local farmers markets. 

4.  Spread the word! Please consider sharing this information with your friends and loved ones, your neighborhood email listservs, and on your social media pages. The Arlington/Northern Virginia communities have been incredible, and we are hopeful that this support will continue so that we may best serve our community.


​ONLINE GIVING/DONACIONES EN LÍNEA 
We rely on your weekly contributions to cover all parish expenses. With the heightened concern over the Covid-19 virus, many are choosing wisely to stay home.  At the same time, if your circumstances allow, we ask that you continue to support the parish on a weekly basis by enrolling in online giving at Faithdirect.net or a bill-pay program so that we are assured of your support even when you cannot join us for Mass. The Faith Direct parish code is VA271. We thank you for your consideration.
