Community Life (Food Bank)
Our Community Life Ministry is an outreach program designed to serve the people of Tarpon Springs who seek temporary assistance with special needs. We provide help with non-perishable food items as well as assistance with water service to their homes and prescription medication. All this help is made possible through the generosity of our parishioners from our monthly food collections.
Typically, this drive is held the third weekend of each month; check the bulletins for dates. Volunteers help on the Monday after the collection to sort and store the food items. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays volunteers staff our Food Bank from 10 am. To noon. Each volunteer is asked to be of service once per month.
We welcome you to join us in this wonderful, rewarding ministry. Husband and wife couples are welcome. If you would like additional information please call Vince at 727-480-5550.
