FOOD PANTRYWesley House

, our local food pantry, for the second year in a row, has been given the opportunity to double any gifts of foodor money donated to them during the months of March and April. Mr. Alan Feinstein, Cranston, RI, has announced that hewill match any donation of food or money contributed to Wesley House; they will receive $1.00 for each pound item ordollar. If you wish to donate by check, please make it payable to Wesley House and have “Feinstein” on the memo line.

For your information.

***Our parish has supported the Wesley House food pantry for years. It is a great way to centralize the distribution of food inour community. This eliminates the duplication of efforts. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Wichita subsidizes the salaryof a full time social worker, Alberta, at Wesley House. This is just one of the ways the Catholic Church provides assistanceto those in need in the Pittsburg area.
