PANTRY OF HOPE
This spring, food bags continue to be given to our neighbors on the second and fourth Sundays of every month.
The Pantry of Hope is in need of assistance in the following areas:
1. Assistance in transporting food from the Food Bank on Fridays .
2. Packing bags once a month on the 2nd or 4th Saturday of the month.
3. Assembling bags on Fridays.
The Pantry is also in need of bottles of juice to pack in the bags given out twice a month.
Suggested: Pints size bottles or quart sizes.
We pack 80 bags for each distribution.
April 28, 2023 will be the only Pantry food distribution this month. Volunteers are needed for Friday food pickup, Saturday preparation, and Sunday distribution.
The Pantry of Hope also welcomes your financial donations (click HERE).
To volunteer, reach out to Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton.

St. Paul's provides groceries to our neighbors twice/month through the work of our Food Pantry, as well as seasonal outreach for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are only able to continue this work because of your financial gifts and volunteer time. Thank you for all the work you do to donate to the effort! Please reach out to Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton if you would like to volunteer.
St. Paul’s Pantry of Hope provides groceries to families, seniors and others in the community who have access to cooking facilities but who have a difficult time affording wholesome nutritious food throughout the month. Pantry clients receive bags of food twice/month on Sunday afternoons.
The pantry was started in 2012 under the supervision of the Ven. Carolyn Bolton, deacon of St. Paul’s, and continues as a program of St. Paul's. It serves 60-70 clients bimonthly, with approximately 3,900 bags of groceries per year. The pantry is staffed mostly by volunteers from St. Paul’s Church. Much of the food is purchased from the Alameda County Food Bank with donations and grants from the Alameda Deanery and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and School, and other generous individuals. |
