St. Joseph's Pantry

The purpose of the pantry is to provide food to families in our parish who have fallen on hard times and are in need of our assistance and compassion. Families and individuals are helped each day.

We provide the following types of items: canned goods, dry beans, dry rice, pasta, pasta sauce, canned fruit, oil, cereal, eggs, produce, milk products, chicken, turkey ham, weiners, beef etc. when available. Bread, cookies and personal grooming items are also distributed when available.

St. Joseph's Pantry exists on the cash and food donations that primarily by our parish members. We also purchase items from the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Cash donations are used solely for the purchase of food for the pantry. The next time you are at the market, please remember our program and when you come to church, place the item in the baskets provided. Your donations will be most appreciated and you will have the knowledge that you have helped a family.
