Little Flower Food Pantry
Click here for updates from the Little Flower Food Pantry.
Our food pantry is essential to over 25 families per week who are working poor. While these families work hard, the high cost of living in our area and inflation makes providing for all the needs impossible. Your food donation, which may seem small, is a helping hand in their struggles. We are dangerously low on supplies of: Canned Soup, Vegetables, Beans (canned and bagged), Fruit, Tuna, Chicken, Chef Boyardee, Chili and Stew. Rice, Parmalat, Cereal, Oatmeal, Coffee, Tea, Pasta Sauce, Pasta, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Shampoo/Conditioner, Soap, & Deodorant.
We also take donations of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.
Drop off to the pantry located in the church lower level or make a cash donation here.
