GivingTuesday Will Fund St. Joseph's Food Program.....
​

On GivingTuesday, we hope you will consider donating in support of our food program.  We continue to provide fresh foods to our community with their monthly pantry bags, and are working to make sure that healthy proteins are always included as well.  As inflation continues to rise, more and more people are struggling financially and we are seeing more families coming to the food pantry.  Thank you for your support!

As Lucia and Roberto expressed to us this week:  “We are grateful for the many blessings we  have received from St. Joseph’s.  We really appreciate all of the healthy foods and wish you all a happy holiday.”

Please help us continue to provide nutritious foods to our community with a donation on GivingTuesday.
