Donate Food
The average household goes grocery shopping 1.6 times per week. We prayerfully ask you to add a few food items for the thousands in our parish area who are out of work and struggling to provide food for their families.
At St. Camillus we ask each person to bring at least one food item each Sunday to help replenish our food pantry. We believe that if "each one brings one" when they come to Mass, we can go a long way toward wiping out hunger in our neighborhood. This is stewardship at its most basic-- realizing how blessed we are to have enough money to buy enough food for our families and, out of that gratitude, sharing with others whose families otherwise might go without. Below is a list of the most needed items:

Volunteer
The Pantry needs bilingual volunteers to help translate and assist with registering new clients. We especially need volunteers to help us on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings during Pantry hours.
We are also looking for volunteers on Thursday afternoons to help with shopping, unloading food deliveries, and shelving food.
