The Food Pantry is closed on Saturday, January 25, 2025, so volunteers can attend Donne Lewis’ funeral.
- Moving forward, the FP will be closed for every federal holiday and on snow day cancellations (determined by Cecil County Public Schools).
- Hours remain the same. Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays, 9:30AM-Noon.
Father John reports that yesterday’s Food Pantry meeting was well attended and productive. After opening with a prayer for the recently deceased Food Pantry Coordinator, Donne Lewis, Father John led the discussion about issues and concerns, and future leadership.
John Stemen will be in charge of food procurement, inventory, vendors and community involvement. George Kaplan will handle client management, scheduling volunteers until April, Federal Food and the Cecil County Help Center. Barb England, our Parish Treasurer, will provide financial management. Organizing is underway.
We are grateful to these individuals and all the volunteers who expressed their willingness to continue with this important ministry.
