Food Pantry
Organizer:
Sally Diaz Wells, 703-979-5580, sdiazwells@olqpva.org
Each 2nd weekend of the month we invite the parish to contribute to a monthly food drive to stock the pantry shelves with donations of canned goods and non-perishable items for our local neighbors. Re-useable grocery bags and a shopping list are distributed for your convenience. The monthly Food Drive does not provide for the current demand -- an average of 200 bags of food are distributed to area residents each week to help supplement their grocery needs; nearly 10,400 bags per year -- making food donations necessary throughout the month. Ministry opportunities include helping with the monthly food drives, sorting and bagging food, shopping for what is still needed after donations come in and distributing the bags on Wednesday mornings.
