Help reduce hunger

On Sunday, May 3, the First Sunday Drive will collect items for Saint Philip’s food pantry. The pantry is open 9:00am-12:00pm on Tuesdays and operates out of the church’s main office area.

The Saint Philip’s food pantry has seen an increase in clientele; 20-25 clients visit every Tuesday. With more clients and higher food prices, the food pantry has a shortfall in its budget for purchasing the necessary items included in food bags and manna bags.

In addition to the tangible food items listed below, cash or credit card donations are always appreciated! To give, please click on this link: https://stphilipstucson.breezechms.com/give/online, and choose “Give to Food Pantry” from the drop-down menu.

The food pantry would appreciate donations of the items most needed:

Canned fruit
Spaghetti noodles
Canned pasta sauce
Canned meat—chicken (any size), tuna and spam
Canned spaghettio’s or raviolis
Canned soup, preferably with protein
Peanut butter
Dry milk
Dry beans and rice

Volunteers also always need items included in Manna bags (gallon bags that are given to the homeless and are also for sale in the Little Shop).

Each bag contains the following:
Water (16.9 oz bottle)
Juice box
Fruit
Protein & cereal bars

Donations of any of the above would be very welcome.

A reminder that the Manna Bag prices have increased to $4 per bag.

Please leave your donations next to the entrance on the church’s east side.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

If you have questions or would like to volunteer as a substitute at the food pantry, please email parishioner Ruth Campbell at sruthie@cox.net.
