Loaves & Fishes Community Services

Parishioners may also help at the pantry by packing grocery bags and assisting with food distribution, sorting food or stocking shelves, or delivering groceries to the homebound. Add here: Please visit their website through the link provided below.

St. Raphael continues its support of the pantry by having a regular drop-off collection of non- perishable food items. Please note: candy, pop, chips, cookies and perishable items (bread, fruit, vegetables, etc.) cannot be accepted. Additionally, it is discouraged to donate anything that is 6 months past the expiration date.

St. Raphael also hosts an Annual Cleaning Supply Collection for Loaves of Fishes in the narthex of the church. When it comes to the underserved and low-income families, feeding their children is their first priority. Due to the cost of laundry soap and cleaning supplies, many families forgo these products. Loaves & Fishes will always accept cleaning supplies to fill their shelves in the Pantry throughout the year.
