How can I help?
Reductions to SNAP and WIC benefits have put over 40 million Americans at risk of hunger. We give food to anyone in need who asks us for aid, feeding over 400 people a week. And now, with record numbers of new clients signing up, our pantry shelves are at risk of being depleted.

Take part in a Lenten discipline of generosity and care for those in need! Many sources of food distribution find their shelves emptying after the generous seasons of Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas, and ACTION is in need of 6000 cans to make it to the Stamp Out Hunger ingathering in May.
During the 40 days of Lent, consider making it part of your Lenten practice to set aside one can in a box, or a dollar (or your daily pocket change) in a jar (you are welcome to take home an Alms Jar from the Narthex). Bring your boxes and jars to church during Holy Week - all donations will go towards stocking the shelves.
