Mother’s Cupboard Volunteering
If you’d really like to donate 3 hours (3:30 to 6:30 PM, Mondays through Saturdays) serving Mother’s Cupboard in November, let Jan Drum know and she’ll try to find a date that fits your schedule. To ensure that you’ll have fun doing it, find a friend or two to join you.

Outreach News:
Please remember to bring donations of canned corn for the week-end backpack program, noodles for St. Vincent DePaul, and peanut butter and canned goods for Mother’s Cupboard. Since several people will be traveling or going South to warmer weather, volunteers are needed for the St. David’s Backpacking Team, St. David’s Food Alliance Thursday Distributions, and St. Vincent DePaul pantry distribution on Mondays and Saturdays as well as the Adopt-a-Highway litter clean-up.

  • Produce Pop-up Pantry at St. David’s will continue on Thursdays from 3PM to 5PM.
  • St. David’s Little Pantry: Our pantry is being used often. We need canned meats, pasta, canned fruit, canned juices, snack items, and soups. Please donate to help our neighbors in need!
