Pantry for the people

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.”
