Welcome to the Family Life Center Food Pantry
The Family Life Center food pantry provides essential food and personal care items to families and individuals in need right here in our community.
Each month, our pantry serves an average of 70 households, assisting more than 165 people. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our parishioners and friends who give so generously month after month.
How You Can Help
We are always in need of nonperishable foods, canned goods, and personal care products. The next time you come to Mass, simply bring an item or two and place it in one of the baskets located by our church doors — just look for our FLC signs.
It is that simple, and it makes a tremendous difference in the lives of those we serve.
This is an ongoing ministry, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support and generosity.
Together we can make a difference.
