Dear Friends in Christ,

Mother Teresa said that the poor are hungry, but more than food, they need love.

This pantry opened on March 3rd, serving six people that day. Five months later we are serving over 150 Breakfast Bags each Friday and Saturday. The Pantry has been blessed with many volunteers and many generous donations. It has grown to be a safe place for those street people to come and have someone to talk to and get a simple meal. Each day they gather in our backyard behind the pantry and enjoy the beautiful Marion Garden landscaped by Paul Houser, Troop 21, as an eagle Scott Project and sit on the four large picnic tables built by Clay Vaughn, Troop 21, another Eagle Scott Project. Through this pantry, many of the basic needs of the homeless on the streets each week are met.

In July, we opened a clothes pantry next door. This will allow those homeless to receive clean clothes, shoes, hygiene products and also provide a place for them to gather during the winter months. A washer and dryer will be put in to clean winter blankets so they may be re-issued. In the future we plan to put a small chapel inside too.

I would like to thank everyone, who has helped in any way to make this pantry a possibility. It is a blessing for all serve and all who visit here.


Please feel free to call me 820-5345 anytime if you have any questions.


God Bless You,


Sister Barbara Joseph
