We humbly request a *pause* to all clothing donations for the next two weeks. We are overflowing with clothes (thank you for that!), but we need a couple of weeks to get caught up. :)

Our hearts (and shelves!) are overflowing with gratitude (and food!)

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to St. Isidore, Blessed Sacrament, St. Paul, St. Sebastian, St. Anthony, LMCU and St. Jude - for all of their food and monetary donations recently to our food & clothing pantry. We appreciate your support!

This morning, 200 meals were delivered by our parishioners to those in need and those who are on their own this Thanksgiving.

Our volunteers packed the meals and loaded up 11 cars of delivery volunteers who joyfully brought the meals to those in need.

We are very thankful for all of YOU! Thank you for making St. Alphonsus a welcoming and joyful place to encounter our Lord.

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to FOODesign by Chef Brech for their generous donation to our Thanksgiving Meal outreach program!

This evening, we were able to give 206 households a large box full of food from our mobile food pantry through Feeding America! This is nearly twice as many as we usually serve. The line of cars was all the way around the corner down to Spencer Street.

A HUGE thank you to our incredible volunteers - very well done. As always, the Lord provides & we didn’t run out of food, even with the increase of households. We know that with the SNAP situation, many are food-insecure. Please know of our prayers and dedication to feeding the hungry in our community.

Feel free to leave a comment or message us with prayer intentions. 🙏🏼
