Food Pantry Donations Being Accepted for January – Items needed: Canned Fruit – Please put your donations in the shopping cart in the Good Shepherd Room. We also need paper grocery bags with handles and plastic bags.

St. Paul’s Food Pantry has been serving clients since September of 1982. The food that is distributed comes mostly from York County Food Bank and Central Penn Food Bank. In addition, we have established relationships with Panera Bread for bread and baked goods and Hill-N- Dale Egg Farm for fresh eggs. Also, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of York can be found working in their garden each year to provide our pantry with fresh garden produce such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, collard greens, etc. We value all donations made of either food or money to our food pantry.
The pantry operates totally with volunteers. Our largest cadre of volunteers are the folks who help with distribution each Tuesday morning, 9:30 – 11:30. Pantry Volunteers are needed: Tuesday mornings to help our neighbors shop, some Sundays to restock shelves and some Thursday mornings to receive deliveries. . Other volunteer opportunities include picking up from Panera Monday evenings, picking up from Hill-N-Dale Egg Farm once a month, and helping to restock the distribution area, and learning to work with the food banks to order food and maintain inventory. New volunteers are always welcome. Thank you Pantry Volunteers!
Should you wish to volunteer in any way, please feel free to contact one of the following:
Teresa Rohrbaugh – oversees Tuesday distributions and Panera
Patty Snyder and Ken Hinkle – helps with ordering and maintaining inventory, deliveries, restocking distribution room
