St. Paul, Lindsay officially opened its new free food cupboard called “St. Paul’s Pantry” in August. Parishioners stocked the pantry and then it was blessed by the Rev. Bonnie Skerritt, incumbent. A dedicated team of parishioners is stocking it three times a week. “The pantry is definitely meeting a need in the community and we are delighted that community members are also starting to leave food their for others,” says Ms. Skerritt. “In response to an article in a local paper, we even have had a large donation of items and grocery gift cards after a local lady decided that for her 70th birthday she would like food for the pantry.”
