The St. John's St. Vincent de Paul collects food for the food pantry on the 3rd weekend of every month. The food can be left in the pantry which is located through the doors to the right of the stage in the parish hall. Items that they are commonly looking for are peanut butter, jelly, spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, crackers, rice, pasta, hamburger helper, pancake mix and syrup, etc.  PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE EXPIRATION DATES on your food donations. Thank you for your generosity.
